About this map

Lake Pend Oreille dominates the western landscape of this Idaho quadrangle, defining the shoreline where settlements like Wrencoe and Morton were established. The heavy transport corridor of the BNSF Railway follows the lake's eastern edge, providing a vital rail link through the timbered terrain. This modern survey illustrates the balance between recreation and rural industry, highlighting the Morton Slough Access and Beaux Ranch Field Airport as key local infrastructure.

Moving away from the main lake, the topography rises toward Black Pine Mtn and settles into the lower drainages of Jewel Lake and Cocolalla Lake. Local landmarks like Otts Basin and several campgrounds, including Round Lake Campground, indicate the transition from early settlement patterns to a region heavily utilized for outdoor access. The detailed road network, from Dufort Rd to numerous private spurs, reveals the density of rural development along the waterways.
