About this map

Flathead Lake dominates the western half of this landscape, its expansive shoreline punctuated by the inlet at Woods Bay. Along the eastern shore, the settlement of Bear Dance sits positioned between the lakefront and the rising slopes of the Mission Mountains. The terrain is defined by a series of parallel drainages flowing westward toward the lake, including Bohannon Creek, Crane Creek, and the curiously named No-see-em Creek.

Transportation follows the lake's edge, with Crane Mountain Rd and Lolo Creek Rd providing access to the rugged interior. Near the southern boundary, the Yellow Bay Campground offers a point of interest for those studying the development of recreational land use in Lake County. The map provides a clear record of residential patterns along the water's edge, contrasting the densely clustered shoreward developments with the sparse, creek-defined topography further inland.
