About this map

Whitefish serves as the gateway to the northern Rockies, positioned where the southern shores of Whitefish Lake meet the Whitefish River. The settlement pattern in this 2014 survey reflects a transition from the historic town center to modern recreational and residential developments such as Happy Haven, Orchard Point, and Bay Point. The influence of the Bnsf railroad remains a central feature of the local geography, anchoring the urban layout while roads like Big Mountain Rd lead upward toward Big Mtn and the Hell Roaring Basin.

The surrounding Flathead National Forest defines the limits of development, containing geographic features such as Haskill Basin and several smaller water bodies including Lost Coon Lake and Sampson Lake. Local history is preserved at the Whitefish Cem, while the Whitefish Airport facilitates modern access to this mountain valley. The map details a complex network of waterways, including Haskill Cr and Walker Cr, which drain the Whitefish Range and shape the local terrain.
