About this map

The western shores of Lake Pend Oreille define this portion of Bonner County, where the steep slopes of the Cabinet Mountains meet the water's edge. The settlement of Talache sits at the southern end of the sheet near Talache Cr, while the community of Glengary occupies the eastern shoreline across from Gamlin Lake. The landscape is marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Gold Mtn and Grouse Mtn down to the numerous coves and points like Garfield Bay and Mineral Point.

Private aviation is a notable feature of the local infrastructure, with Rapoport Ranch Airport, Timber Basin Airpark Inc, and Bird Number 2 Airport spaced across the northern half of the map. Much of the southwestern terrain is protected within the Kaniksu National Forest, where the topography becomes particularly steep at Bimetallic Ridge. A network of specialized local roads, such as Vortex Way and Anglers Knot, provides access to the residential pockets and recreational camps clustered around the lake's many inlets.
