Flathead Lake, Montana
Explore Flathead Lake with this original hand-drawn story map by Chris Robitaille. Situated in northwest Montana, Flathead Lake is the largest freshwater lake in the western U.S., surpassing Lake Tahoe in size and the Yellow Sea in depth, with pristine water quality.
This project is a unique and exciting collaboration among Xplorer Maps, Flathead Lakers and the University of Montana's Flathead Lake Biological Station. Our goal is to raise awareness and funds for two organizations dedicated to the future of Flathead Lake, renowned for their exemplary stewardship.
In 2012, Xplorer Maps released 300 signed and numbered Limited Edition Giclée Prints of the Flathead Lake Map, all of which sold out. Lithographic prints are still available, with over $16,000 donated to support water quality monitoring, community education, and conservation.
