2020 Map of Priest Lake NW

About this map

Nordman serves as the primary settlement within the Kaniksu National Forest on this 2020 survey of northern Idaho. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of the Selkirk Mountains, featuring prominent peaks such as Nickelplate Mtn, Blacktail Mtn, and Watson Mtn. This high-altitude drainage system feeds several alpine water bodies, including Kerr Lake and Reeder Lake, which eventually descend toward the western shores of Priest Lake. The map reveals a complex network of forest development roads, such as Granite Creek Rd, which provide access to the timberlands and remote meadows like Bismark Meadows near the southern boundary. To the east, the shoreline of Priest Lake is punctuated by Distillery Bay and Reeder Bay, indicating the importance of the lakefront to the local geography and recreation economy of Bonner County.
