About this map

The Priest River confluence with Lake Pend Oreille serves as the focal point for this Idaho panhandle study, where the namesake settlement of Priest River and the neighboring community of Oldtown sit along the water. The landscape is defined by the transition from the river valley to the timbered heights of the Kaniksu National Forest, where features like Cuban Hill and Pine Cr break the terrain.

Transport and utility are evident in the density of local infrastructure, including the Priest River Municipal Airport and residential street grids like Beardmore Ave and Jefferson Ave. Historical remnants of the region's timber and transit roots appear in labels such as Barrett Mill Rd and Cemetary Rd, while the upper reaches are accessed by forest routes like Stone Johnny Lookout Rd. Several private airstrips, including the Flying W Ranch Airport, dot the periphery, reflecting the modern rural character of Bonner County.
