About this map

Priest Lake dominates this northern Idaho landscape, its eastern shoreline defined by a series of bays and prominent points. The Priest Lake State Park Lionhead Unit sits at the northern end, where the Priest River and Lion Creek feed into the water. Settlement is concentrated along the narrow strip between the water and the rising slopes of the Selkirk Mountains, specifically along East Shore Rd and Sandy Shores Ln.

Inland, the terrain rises sharply toward Klootch Mountain, dissected by numerous drainage systems including Two Mouth Creek and Indian Creek. Access into these higher elevations is provided by forest routes such as 2 Mouth Creek Rd. This 2011 survey documents the shoreline development at Camp Coedge and various shore-side roads just before further modern expansion, while preserving the geographic relationship between landmarks like Tripod Point and Twin Islands.
