About this map

Priest Lake dominates this portion of the Kaniksu National Forest, where the eastern shoreline is defined by a series of prominent bays and points. The landscape rises sharply from the water's edge at Priest Bay and Huckleberry Bay toward the high peaks of Klootch Mtn and Goblin Knob. This modern mapping reflects a specialized recreational and forest-management environment, indicated by the network of access routes like E Side Rd, State Cabin Rd, and the Navigation Trl.

A complex hydrological system feeds the lake from the east, including Priest Creek and its many branches such as North Fork Priest Creek and South Fork Indian Creek. Isolated landmarks like Twin Islands and Tripod Point serve as key navigational markers for the lake. The map also records several residential pockets along the shore, including those near Mosquito Bay and Bear Creek Bay, accessed by local connectors like Sandpiper Shores Rd and Diamond Pk Rd.
