2017 Map of Sandpoint

About this map

Lake Pend Oreille defines the eastern boundary of this Bonner County landscape, where the waters of Kootenai Bay meet the shoreline settlements of Ponder Point and Kootenai. The city of Sandpoint sits at the heart of the region, its street grid transitioning from the historic downtown to residential areas near Pinecrest Cem and Lakeview Cem. To the north, the terrain rises sharply into the Schweitzer Basin, a complex of recreation-focused trails like Telemark Trail and Highpoint Trail that contrast with the industrial and aviation hubs found at the Sandpoint Airport and Olmstead Sky Ranch Airport. This 2017 survey reveals a diverse mix of lakefront living, mountainous terrain, and essential infrastructure, including the path of the Great Northern Rd, illustrating the development patterns of the Idaho Panhandle in the early twenty-first century.
