2013 Map of Outlet Bay

About this map

Outlet Bay serves as the focal point where Priest Lake feeds into the Priest River, a critical hydrological juncture in the panhandle. This 2013 survey details a landscape defined by the intersection of recreational public lands and timber history, with the Kanisku National Forest blanketing much of the terrain. The presence of Old Stage Rd and Dickensheet Junction hints at the early transportation corridors that predated State Hwy 57. Along the river, natural features like Mission Falls and Chipmunk Rapids contrast with the organized recreational spaces of Priest Lake State Park. High ground is marked by Outlet Mtn and the sweeping Big Meadows, while the lower elevations are carved by numerous tributaries including Upper W Br Priest River and Dubius Cr.
