About this map

Spirit Lake and the northern reaches of Twin Lakes anchor this landscape along the border of Bonner and Kootenai counties. The shoreline reflects a transition from residential developments like Silver Beach and Silver Sands Beach to the steep, wooded slopes of Pitz Mtn and Larch Mtn. The topography is defined by a series of drainages, including Butterworth Draw, Youngs Draw, and the distinctive Swansons Chute near Fish Cr.

Connectivity is provided by a network of local roads and recreational paths, such as the Tesemini Trail and Bronze Bay Trail, which wind through the forested terrain. The map captures a mix of rural holdings, indicated by Poirier Ranch Rd, alongside the structured street grids of established lakeside communities. This detail provides an important record of contemporary land use and recreational infrastructure in the Idaho Panhandle.
