About this map

Lake Pend Oreille dominates the western landscape of this Bonner County region, where the deep waters of Mallard Bay meet a complex network of forest roads and lakeside settlements. The small communities of Wrencoe and Morton serve as focal points for the rural residential growth that has shaped the area between the lake and the timbered heights of Black Pine Mtn.

Drainage patterns are clearly defined by the winding course of Cocolalla Creek as it flows toward Round Lake, while smaller bodies of water like Muskrat Lake and Little Lake dot the northern terrain. The map documents a modern layout of localized infrastructure, including aviation at Beaux Ranch Field and the intricate logging and residential paths of Otts Basin, reflecting the area's continued evolution from a wilderness timber hub to a recreation-oriented residential corridor.
