2011 Map of Priest Lake NW

About this map

The mountain settlement of Nordman serves as the gateway to this portion of the Selkirk Mountains just west of Priest Lake. This landscape is defined by its network of forest roads and recreation sites, including the Nordman Campground and Granite Creek Campground. The topography rises steeply from the shoreline toward prominent peaks like Blacktail Mountain and Nickelplate Mountain, while lower elevations are carved by Granite Creek and Reeder Creek. A series of high-country passes and smaller water bodies, such as Beaver Pass and Reeder Lake, illustrate the remote character of the Idaho Panhandle's national forest lands. Local travel centers on routes like Granite Creek Rd and Reeder Creek Rd, which provide access to the waterfront at Reeder Bay Campground and the Ledgewood Picnic Area on the western edge of the larger lake.
