About this map

Priest River flows south from Priest Lake in this 2023 survey of the southern shore near Outlet Bay. The landscape is defined by the managed lands of the Kaniksu National Forest, where a complex network of forest development roads and trails provides access to the backcountry. Notable water features like Mission Falls and Chipmunk Rapids mark the river's descent through the timbered terrain.

Settlement patterns are concentrated at Dickensheet Junction, serving as a crossroads for routes like Dickensheet Rd and Binarch Mtn Rd. Historical transport remnants are visible in the labeling of Old Stage Rd, while broad natural clearings such as Big Meadows and Gleason Meadow break the dense forest cover. The mapping of named drainages like Binarch Creek and Dubius Creek offers precise data for those studying the hydrology and recreational access of this Bonner County region.
