About this map

The Northern Pacific railroad line anchors the geography of this Bonner County region, tracing a corridor between the Pend Oreille River and Cocolalla Lake. Small settlements like Sagle, Algoma, and Dufort dot the railway route, reflecting a mid-century landscape defined by transportation and timber access. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by several gravel pits and the Hope and Faith Shaft on the slopes of the Kaniksu National Forest, while the State Fish Hatchery near Murphy Bay highlights the importance of the local watershed.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Westmond Cem near the community of Westmond, as well as numerous smaller water bodies such as Heath Lake, Algoma Lake, and Shepherd Lake. The terrain transitions from the river lowlands near Dover up to the high ground of Bimetallic Ridge and Butler Mtn, showing the complex intersection of federal forest land and private developments like Springy Point and its associated Campground.
