About this map

Priest River meanders through the heart of the Kaniksu National Forest in this modern survey of northern Idaho. The landscape is defined by the convergence of water and timber, centered around the settlement of Outlet Bay at the southern tip of Priest Lake. Significant elevation changes are marked by Outlet Mtn, while the valley floor is punctuated by specialized ecological zones such as Big Meadows and Gleason Meadow.

A network of Forest Service roads and historic routes, including the Old Stage Rd, provides a look at the infrastructure required for managing these timberlands. For those interested in the hydrology of the Idaho Panhandle, the map documents numerous water features, from the turbulence of Mission Falls and Chipmunk Rapids to the steady flow of Binarch Creek and the Upper West Branch Priest River. Small settlements like Dickensheet Junction serve as navigation points within the dense forest landscape.
