1967 Map of Outlet Bay

About this map

Kaniksu National Forest defines the rugged landscape of this Bonner County quadrangle, where the southern waters of Priest Lake spill into the Priest River. The control point at Outlet Dam and the nearby Gaging Station reflect the managed hydrology of this timber-rich region in the late 1960s. Lowland areas such as Big Meadows and Gleason Meadow break the dense forest cover, while several creek systems, including Upper West Branch Creek and Dubius Creek, drain the high ground. Recreation and forestry infrastructure are evident at Dickensheet Junction and the Outlet Campground. Along the river's winding course, natural features like Mission Falls and Chipmunk Rapids highlight the challenging terrain that shaped early travel and resource extraction in northern Idaho.
