About this map

Bead Lake and Marshall Lake anchor this 2011 survey of the Kaniksu National Forest region in Bonner County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Lower West Branch Priest River and Butch Creek, which drain the timbered elevations. This era of land management is reflected in the specialized infrastructure present, such as the Newport Geophysical Observatory and the Stone Johnny Lookout near the settlement of Stone Johnny.

Resource extraction and recreation leave distinct marks on the terrain. The Lucky Joe Mine is situated along Lucky Joe Rd, while aviation access is provided by the Valenov Ranch Airport to the east. Topographical markers like Bead Lake Peak and Mosquito Point provide a framework for the complex system of forest roads, including Bead Lake Dr and Ojibway Rd, which navigate the drainages of Mosquito Creek and Slough Creek.
