About this map

The northeastern shores of Lake Pend Oreille meet the towering Selkirk and Cabinet mountain ranges in this late-twentieth-century survey. The settlement of Trestle Creek serves as a focal point along the shoreline, where the Pend Oreille State Wildlife Management Area protects the wetlands of the Pack River Flats. This landscape is defined by the steep elevation gains from the lake level at 2,062 feet up to prominent summits like Kirby Mountain, Grief Mountain, and Trout Peak.

Resource extraction and land management are evident through the identification of Prospect Adits on the slopes and scattered Gravel Pits near the water. The drainage network is dense, featuring numerous named waterways such as Shertz Creek, Glazier Creek, and Strong Creek that carve through the Kaniksu National Forest. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the town of Hope sits at the base of Mount Eagen, illustrating the narrow habitable strip between the high peaks and the expansive lake.
