About this map

Bayview serves as the primary gateway to the southwestern shores of Lake Pend Oreille, situated at the convergence of the Kaniksu National Forest and the Coeur D'alene National Forest. This landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, rising from the waters of Scenic Bay to the high elevations of Bernard Peak and Chilco Mtn. The map reveals a transition from the structured residential roads of the settlement to the winding forest routes and trails like the Lynx Trail and N Waldron TRL.

Evidence of the region's topographical character is found in the many named drainages and peaks, including Cape Horn Peak and the curious Old Doe Draw. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex near Cedar Saddle and Green Mtn, where numerous creeks such as N Fork Sage Cr and Roush Cr dissect the mountain slopes. The presence of The Old Maids Clearing north of the bay suggests a specific local history tied to early land use in these timbered highlands.
