2014 Map of Newman Lake

About this map

Newman Lake and Hauser Lake dominate this landscape straddling the border of Spokane County, Washington, and Kootenai County, Idaho. The settlement of Hauser sits at the edge of the Rathdrum Prairie, a broad expanse that transitions abruptly into the high peaks of Round Top Mtn, Ragged Mtn, and Green Mtn. In the early 21st century, these mountains remain heavily dissected by drainages like Schackle Cr and Shaw Cr. Local aviation and recreation are marked by features such as the Smith Ranch Airport and the Hauser Lake Access Fish and Game area. Residential development is clustered along the lakefronts, notably at Bass Point and along E Park Beach Rd, while the higher elevations are accessed by a network of timber and ridge roads, including N Ragged Ridge Rd. Small, tucked-away water bodies like Lost Lake provide evidence of the complex glacial topography of the Inland Northwest.
