About this map

Priest Lake serves as the focal point of this northern Idaho landscape, where the waters flow southward through the Outlet Dam into the winding Priest River. The 1967 field-checked data captures a region defined by its timber and water resources, with the Kaniksu National Forest covering much of the terrain. Small settlements and crossroads like Outlet Bay and Dickensheet Junction provide the primary human footprints in an area dominated by natural features.

Transport through the woods is marked by a network of specialized paths, including the Pack Trail, Foot Trail, and various Jeep Trails that navigate the high ground near Outlet Mtn. Resource extraction is evident through several Borrow Pits and a Gravel Pit located near the riverbanks. Downstream from the lake, the river's character changes at Chipmunk Rapids and Mission Falls, highlighting the logistical challenges of the local waterways before they reach the lower elevations of Jack Pine Flats.
