About this map

Talache sits on the western shores of Lake Pend Oreille, where the legacy of early twentieth-century mining is etched into the landscape. The names Bimetallic Ridge, Gold Mtn, and Gold Gulch signify the area's geological draws, while the small settlement of Talache itself serves as a reminder of the community that formed around these mineral prospects. To the north, the landscape transitions into the residential and agricultural pockets of Broten and Glengary, alongside specialized facilities like the Timber Basin Airpark Inc.

Preservation of local history is visible at the Gamlin Lake Cem, located near the namesake lake and nestled below the ridgelines. Much of the southern and central terrain is dominated by the Kaniksu National Forest, where steep slopes descend toward prominent shoreline features such as Grouse Mountain Point and Mineral Point. This contemporary survey also highlights the continued relevance of private aviation in the region with the Bird Number 2 Airport near the northeastern corner of the sheet.
