About this map

Pend Oreille River frontage and the southern reaches of Lake Pend Oreille define this portion of Bonner County during the mid-1990s. The landscape is a mix of protected timberland within the Kaniksu National Forest and rural settlements that follow the corridor of the Union Pacific railroad. Small communities like Sagle, Algoma, Dufort, and Westmond are centered around this transportation spine, which parallels the main highway heading south toward Cocolalla.

Local history is preserved at the Westmond Cemetery and the Sagle Community Hall, while the terrain rises sharply into the high ground of Bimetallic Ridge and Butler Mountain. This survey details the complex shoreline of Murphy Bay and Sagle Slough, alongside several inland water bodies such as Shepherd Lake and Cocolalla Lake, showing a region where logging, transit, and water-based recreation intersect.
