About this map

Lake Pend Oreille dominates this mid-1990s landscape where the Pack River and Lightning Creek meet the shoreline. The map illustrates a transitional rural environment near the Kaniksu National Forest boundary, characterized by localized settlements like Selle and Culver. Public resources and community landmarks are clearly marked, including the North Side School and Pack River Cemetery, while the northern portion of the lake features the Pend Oreille State Wildlife Management Area and the extensive Pack River Flats.

Resource extraction and recreation are evident through the presence of several Mines and a Gravel Pit inland, contrasted with the leisure facilities at the Golf Course and Roadside Park. Navigational landmarks like Kootenai Point, Sunnyside Mountain, and Hawkins Point provide clear orientation along the rugged northern coast, while the Twelfth Standard Parallel North serves as a formal surveying anchor for the region.
