About this map

Priest Lake dominates this mountain landscape, its eastern shoreline defined by a series of prominent points and sheltered bays. The rugged terrain of the Selkirk Mountains rises sharply from the water's edge, including landmarks such as Roothaan Mountain and Cape Horn. Human activity is concentrated along the lakefront, where East Side Rd connects recreational nodes like the Indian Creek Campground and the Priest Lake State Park Indian Creek Unit.

Transport into this wilderness is facilitated by the Cavanaugh Bay Airport at the southern end of the sheet. Numerous seasonal drainages, including Hunt Creek, Cougar Creek, and Soldier Creek, carve deep valleys through the high country toward the lake. The presence of named features like Camels Prairie and various forest access roads indicates a landscape utilized for both timber management and outdoor recreation.
