About this map

Wild Horse Island dominates this mid-century survey of western Flathead Lake, showing a landscape defined by its intricate shoreline and high-elevation topography. The interior of the island reaches several notable peaks, while the mainland to the south is characterized by steep slopes and secluded basins. Along the water, localized pockets of activity are evident at Lindisfarne (Camp Marshall) and near Dream Isle.

The hydrography of the region is documented with precision, from the expansive waters of Indian Bay and Stone Quarry Bay to smaller inland features like Wymore Lake and Jette Lake. These protected coves and narrow passages, such as The Narrows, illustrate the geographic complexity of the Montana lakeshore before significant modern development. Cultural markers are sparse, though a Gravel Pit and a stretch of Route 93 indicate the essential infrastructure of the era.
