1996 Map of Edgemere

About this map

Hoodoo Lake and the surrounding Valley define this portion of Bonner County, where the transition between the Kaniksu National Forest and rural settlements is clearly delineated. Revised by the USDA Forest Service in the mid-1990s, this document captures a network of small communities and infrastructure including Edgemere, Vay, and the Edgemere Grange. The landscape is dominated by the north-south drainage of Hoodoo Creek, which passes through the narrow valley floor below the slopes of Horn Mountain. The mapping reveals a rural economy tied to the land, evidenced by numerous Gravel Pits and the proximity of the forest boundary. For researchers, the presence of localized place names like Harlem and Clagstone provides specific data points for tracing family history and property locations in this northern Idaho timber and ranching corridor.
