About this map

Priest River flows southward from the mouth of Priest Lake, serving as the central hydrological artery for this forested Bonner County landscape. The regulation of these waters is managed by the Outlet Dam (also labeled as the Priest Lake Dam) near Outlet Bay. This map captures the intersection of recreation and utility, showing established facilities like Outlet Campground and Canoe Camp alongside mountainous terrain.

Transportation through the dense timber is facilitated by a network of forest roads and historic routes, including the Old Stage Rd and Binarch Mtn Rd. Further south, the landscape transitions into the open Gleason Meadow, while the river passes the notable Mission Falls Waterfall. The small settlement at Dickensheet Junction marks a key crossroads for those traveling toward Priest Lake State Park or along Dickensheet Rd.
