2013 Map of Sandpoint

About this map

Sandpoint sits at the northern edge of Lake Pend Oreille, where the BNSF Railway crosses the water near the mouth of Sand Creek. This 2013 survey documents the region's complex geography, from the shoreline settlements of Ponderay and Kootenai to the rising elevations of the Schweitzer Basin. The infrastructure of the era is well-represented, including the Sandpoint Airport, Olmstead Sky Ranch Airport, and the Bonner County Fairgrounds. Local history and genealogy interests are served by the inclusion of Pinecrest Cem and Lakeview Cem, alongside smaller communities like Dover and Bronx. The map illustrates a landscape defined by its proximity to the water and the rugged slopes of the Selkirk Mountains, featuring recreational sites like the Pine Street Ski Area and various water features such as Chuck Slough and Syringa Cr.
