1994 Map of Woods Bay

About this map

Flathead Lake dominates the western half of this landscape, its expansive waters meeting a shoreline defined by the steep eastern front of the Flathead National Forest. This 1994 revision reflects a mixture of public lands and the northern edge of an Indian Reservation. The settlement of Woods Bay sits at the northern end, while the southern shoreline near Yellow Bay reveals specialized landmarks like the U of M Biological Station and the Flathead Community Center. Numerous drainages carve through the timbered slopes, including uniquely named features such as No-see-um Creek, Hunger Creek, and Gunderson Creek. The map provides a look at the intersection of forest management, tribal boundaries, and lakeside development in the mid-1990s.
