About this map

Lake Pend Oreille and its western outlet form the central corridor of this Bonner County landscape, where the communities of Priest River and Oldtown serve as established hubs. The map reveals a land defined by its transition from the water’s edge to the timbered heights of the Kanisku National Forest. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the northern bank of the river, with residential streets like Beardmore Ave and Jefferson Ave giving way to a network of rural routes such as Cemetery Rd and E Settlement Rd.

Industry and recreation are closely linked to the geography, evidenced by the Priest River Municipal Airport and multiple private airstrips like Flying H Ranch Airport. Public access points including the Albeni Falls Dam Picnic Area and Priest River Campground highlight the importance of the riverfront. Further north, landmarks such as the Newport Hill Lookout overlook a terrain carved by Sanborn Cr and the Lower West Branch Priest River.
