About this map

Newman Lake and Hauser Lake dominate this borderland landscape where the Washington-Idaho state line bisects the mountainous terrain. The map captures the interface between the high peaks of the Selkirk foothills and the northern edge of the Rathdrum Prairie. This 2020 survey reveals a community defined by its waterfronts, with numerous named coves such as Honeymoon Bay, Sutton Bay, and Cherokee Bay along the western lake, while the eastern side near Hauser shows a distinct transition toward the flat prairie lands.

Elevations rise sharply to the north at Green Mtn and Ragged Mtn, where the topography is marked by features like Ragged Ridge Saddle. Evidence of local aviation is present at the Smith Ranch Airport near the southern boundary. The intricate network of local roads, such as N Newman Lake Rd and W Kathleen Ave, provides a clear view of how residential development has clustered around these glacial water bodies and the historical transport corridors of the region.
