About this map

The Pack River and Sand Cr define the hydrological character of this portion of Bonner County, where the valley floor meets the rising timber of the Kanisku National Forest. Small settlements such as Elmira and Samuels are connected by a network of rural roads, including historical routes like the Old Kootenai Trl and White Mountain Rd. The northern section is dominated by the McArthur Wildlife Management Area, highlighting the region's focus on conservation and natural resource management.

Local history is preserved at the Gold Creek Cem in the southeast, while the terrain is punctuated by landmarks like Elmira Peak and several high-altitude water bodies including Bloom Lake and Deanick Lake. The transition from the wetland areas near Walsh Lake to the higher elevations of Sand Ridge reflects the diverse northern Idaho landscape, maintaining its character through well-established forest boundaries and small, dispersed communities.
