About this map

Whitefish serves as the gateway to the Whitefish Range, centered where the BNSF Railway skirts the southern shore of Whitefish Lake. The map details the transition from the city’s residential grid and lakeshore points like Bay Point and Orchard Point to the high-elevation terrain of Big Mtn. This mountain area is heavily developed with access roads such as Big Mountain Rd and Ptarmigan Blvd, reflecting the area's growth as a year-round recreational destination within the Flathead National Forest.

South of the downtown core, the landscape opens into the Flathead Valley, where the Whitefish River meanders toward Lost Coon Lake and Blanchard Lake. The eastern portion is dominated by the Haskill Basin, a critical watershed defined by Haskill Cr and Walker Cr. This 2017 survey documents the modern infrastructure supporting this mountain community, from the Whitefish Airport to the various neighborhoods ascending the lower slopes of the surrounding peaks.
