About this map

Lake Pend Oreille dominates this northern Idaho landscape, surrounding a collection of named landforms including Memaloose Island, Warren Island, and Pearl Island. The neighboring lakeside communities of Hope and East Hope are established along the northeastern shoreline, where Strong Creek meets the water. This 2011 survey captures the area's mix of recreational and historical importance, evidenced by the Lake Pend Oreille Seaplane Base near Picard Point and the Samowen Campground on the peninsula.

Deeply rooted local history is visible at the Hope Cemetery and the documented Petroglyphs on the eastern shore of the lake. The topography transitions sharply from the deep waters of the lake to the heights of Kirby Mountain in the north and Jakes Mountain in the southeast. Transport and access are defined by a network of local routes such as Denton Rd and David Thompson Rd, which trace the irregular shoreline and connect these isolated mountain settlements.
