1989 Map of Hope

About this map

Lake Pend Oreille dominates this landscape, its expansive waters punctuated by a chain of islands including Warren Island, Pearl Island, and Cottage Island. The northern shoreline is defined by the settlements of Hope and East Hope, where the rugged terrain meets the water at Ellisport Bay. This era shows a complex mix of conservation and extraction, with the David Thompson State Wildlife Preserve covering the eastern peninsula while the Green Monarch Mine is noted on the southern shore near Deadman Point. Navigation and lake-based activity are evident through the presence of a Lighthouse on Pearl Island and a Boat Ramp at Owens Bay. The map also captures the intricate wetlands of Denton Slough and the boundaries of the Kaniksu National Forest, illustrating how federal and state management shaped the shoreline in the late twentieth century.
