About this map

Lake Pend Oreille defines the southern edge of this Idaho mountain terrain, where residential and recreational pockets like Snug Hbr and The Willows meet the water's edge. The landscape is characterized by significant vertical relief, rising from the lake level toward prominent peaks such as Bald Mountain, Gisborne Mountain, and Johnny Long Mountain. A network of drainage systems including Smith Creek, Carr Creek, and Tarlac Creek carves through the high country, creating natural passages like Happy Fork Gap and Canyon Gap.

Transport through the area relies on a mix of winding mountain roads and residential loops, including Baldy Mountain Rd and Wrenco Loop. The presence of Schweitzer Basin in the northeast corner and a Gravel Pit near the lake indicate the diverse uses of the land, from recreation and winter sports to local resource extraction, while McCormack Meadows suggests rare open spaces amidst the forested slopes.
