About this map

Coolin sits at the southern reach of Priest Lake, serving as a primary gateway to the high timber and granite peaks of the Selkirk Mountains in this 2013 survey. The settlement pattern is defined by waterfront accessibility, with Sherwood Beach and Plumbago Point flanking the eastern shore. Away from the water, the landscape rises sharply into high-elevation landmarks like Sundance Mtn and Coolin Mtn, while the interior plateau features the smaller Chase Lake and its Chase Lake Access Area.

A network of forest roads and secondary routes like Cavanaugh Bay Rd and Waters Creek Rd navigate the complex drainage systems of the Middle Fork E River and Lost Cr. This map documents a period of modern recreational and residential development integrated with the expansive Kanisku National Forest, illustrating how legacy landmarks like Jack Pine Flats and Whitetail Butte continue to anchor the geography of northern Idaho.
