1996 Map of Hope

About this map

Lake Pend Oreille dominates the landscape of this Idaho Panhandle survey, where the settlements of Hope and East Hope cling to the northern shoreline beneath the slopes of the Kaniksu National Forest. The map captures a complex shoreline of points and bays, from Anderson Point in the northwest to Sheepherder Point in the south, punctuated by significant islands like Warren Island and the smaller Cottage Island. A local Lighthouse on Pearl Island and a Marina in Ellisport Bay reflect the maritime character of the community in the late 1990s. The southern reaches of the quadrangle reveal an industrial and conservationist layer, featuring the Green Monarch Mine near Deadman Point and the protected lands of the David Thompson State Wildlife Preserve, showcasing the region's balance between resource extraction and environmental stewardship.
