Flathead Valley from space

Here is a photo of the Flathead Valley taken by NASA from the space shuttle. Apparently the photo was taken in 1989.  I wonder what the valley looks like now from space given all the development that has occurred since then?

Starting at the bottom with the largest lake and moving counterclockwise: Flathead Lake, Swan Lake, Hungry Horse Reservoir, Lake McDonald (at the top) , Whitefish Lake, Talley Lake (the deepest natural lake in Montana, with a depth of 492 feet), Ashley Lake, Little Bitterroot Lake, McGregor Lake, and Lake Mary Ronan.

Though it looks flat, those are some serious mountains around the valley.

In 2007 I had a similar blog post on the same subject with lesser photos.   For more quality photos of the Flathead Valley, click on the Flathead From Space web page.
