2017 Map of Woods Bay

About this map

Flathead Lake dominates the western half of this quadrangle, defining the shoreline where the Flathead National Forest meets the water. Along the eastern bank, small settlements like Woods Bay and Bear Dance are linked by E Shore Rd, showing the residential development tucked between the lake and the rising mountainous terrain. The map records a landscape carved by numerous small drainages, including Hunger Cr, Mauzey Cr, and the uniquely named No-see-um Cr. The southern portion includes Yellow Bay and the specialized Bio Station Ln, indicating the presence of scientific research facilities along the coast. This 2017 survey details the intersection of recreation and conservation as private lanes like Birch Tree Dr and Lolo Point Ln reach toward the water from the edges of the national forest boundary.
