About this map

Nordman serves as the primary outpost on the edge of the Kaniksu National Forest, situated near the southwestern shore of Priest Lake. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the peaks of the Selkirk Mountains, including Blacktail Mtn and Granite Mtn. The map documents a dense network of forest development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 1341, which provides access to the high timber and mountain passes like Beaver Pass.

Water features are prominent throughout the drainage basins, with Reeder Creek Rd tracing the path toward Reeder Bay and Distillery Bay. Low-lying marshland and meadows, such as Bismark Meadows and Armstrong Meadows, break up the timbered slopes. The presence of Reeder Lake and Kerr Lake further illustrates the complex hydrology of this part of Bonner County, providing a clear record of the area's geography as it existed in the early 21st century.
