About this map

Swan Lake dominates the upper eastern corridor of this Lake County terrain, where the Swan River flows through a landscape defined by an intricate network of mountain drainages. The shoreline is punctuated by local landmarks like the Deer Lick Resort and accessed by dedicated routes such as West Swan Shores Rd and Swan Shores Rd.

A dense system of named waterways, including the curiously titled No-see-em Creek, Gunderson Creek, and Yellow Bay Creek, carve through the elevations. These labels reveal the local nomenclature of the region's geography, from Bohannon Creek in the southwest to Sixmile Creek in the north. The presence of Bug Creek Rd and Yew Creek Rd indicates the primary access points for forestry or recreation in this portion of the Flathead National Forest vicinity during the early 21st century.
