2020 Map of Spirit Lake West

About this map

Spirit Lake serves as the central anchor of this landscape, situated at the boundary of Bonner and Kootenai counties. The shoreline reflects a transition from residential developments at Silver Beach to more primitive paths like the Bronze Bay Trail and Tesemini Trail. To the south, the waters of Twin Lakes are bordered by Silver Sands Beach and Excelsior Beach, indicating a high concentration of recreational lakeside settlements. The surrounding terrain is marked by significant elevations and named drainages such as Larch Mtn, Pitz Mtn, and the distinctive Swansons Chute. This 2020 survey documents the modern road network, including Poirier Ranch Rd and Brickel Creek Rd, which provide access to the timbered draws and creeks flowing toward the lakes, such as Fish Cr and Poirier Cr.
