2011 Map of Thompson Lakes

About this map

Lower Thompson Lake and its northern counterpart, Upper Thompson Lake, dominate the geography of this Flathead County quadrangle. The map details a landscape shaped by timber and recreation, where Plum Cr Timber County Rd and numerous Forest Service routes like NFD 257 Rd wind through the mountainous terrain surrounding Bowers Peak. Along the shoreline, Logan Park Campground serves as a primary point of access, while smaller water bodies like Rainbow Lake, Eli Lake, and Lost Lake are tucked into the high elevations. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the headwaters of the Thompson River, fed by a network of drainages including Boiling Springs Creek and Tornilla Creek. The inclusion of the Campbell Ranch Airport in the southeast corner points to the area's ongoing blend of private land use and vast public forest management.
