About this map

Lake Pend Oreille dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its deep waters framed by the steep slopes of Bernard Peak and Cape Horn Peak. The shoreline is defined by protected inlets like Scenic Bay, where the settlement of Bayview serves as a primary gateway to the water. The land to the west transitions into the sprawling grounds of Farragut State Park, which occupies a site with a significant military history.

A designated Naval Reservation remains active along the coast, featuring a Naval Laboratory and specialized facilities near the lake's edge. Further inland, small rural crossroads like Bunco Corners and Lewellen sit near the base of the mountains. The terrain rises sharply to the south into the Coeur d'Alene National Forest, where the Chilco Mountain Trail traverses high ridges toward South Chilco Mountain. This 1990s revision reflects a landscape where naval research and public recreation coexist along one of Idaho's deepest lakes.
