About this map

Wild Horse Island dominates the northern waters of this Flathead Lake landscape, showcasing the topographic complexity of the largest natural freshwater lake in the region. The map reveals a shoreline defined by numerous indentations and geographical markers, from the quiet waters of White Swan Bay and Indian Bay to the rocky protrusion of Matterhorn Point. The settlement of Lindisfarne is situated on the mainland across from the smaller Melita Island and Dream Island, indicating a localized pattern of development that follows the water's edge.

Further south, the community at Kings Point serves as a focal point near Stone Quarry Bay and Lansing Point. The transportation network is closely tied to the terrain, featuring roads like Melita Island Rd and the Jette Lake Trl, which navigate the elevation changes along the western shore. This survey provides a clear view of the relationship between the mountainous interior and the sheltered harbors of Safety Bay and Cat Bay.
