About this map

Bayview serves as the primary hub on the southwestern shores of Lake Pend Oreille in this 1967 survey. The landscape is defined by the transition from the deep waters of Scenic Bay and Idlewild Bay to the high elevations of Chilco Mountain and Bernard Peak. A significant portion of the shoreline is occupied by the Naval Reservation and Farragut State Park, featuring an Amphitheater, Campground, and Naval Laboratory.

Away from the lake, the interior reveals a network of resource extraction and local transit, including an Old Railroad Grade and numerous Borrow Pits. Smaller settlements and junctions like Bunco Corners and Lewellen are mapped alongside the expansive Kaniksu National Forest and Coeur d'Alene National Forest. For genealogists and local historians, the map details many family-named roads such as Ehlart Road and Good Hope Road, as well as the remote Horse Heaven Airstrip in the southern forest reaches.
