About this map

The Mission Range dominates the western half of this Lake County terrain, where numerous drainages such as Hungry Cr, Howsley Cr, and No-see-em Cr descend toward the Swan Valley. This 2017 survey documents a landscape heavily defined by conservation and forestry management, with the majority of the area protected within the Flathead National Forest. Along the eastern edge, the Swan River National Wildlife Refuge marks the low-lying wetlands and riparian corridors near the river's path.

Transportation is limited to a network of forest roads and residential ways along the lakefront, including W. Swan Shores Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 9714 Rd. This map captures the modern balance between recreational access and wilderness preservation, illustrating how the steep slopes of the Mission Range give way to the complex hydrology of Yew Cr, Parker Cr, and Bohannon Cr as they flow toward the valley floor.
