How to Use This Spirit Lake, Idaho Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Spirit Lake, Idaho. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Idaho or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Spirit Lake.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Spirit Lake, Idaho
Spirit Lake is a locality in Kootenai County, Idaho, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,337. The population density is 367.4 people per km². Spirit Lake is located at 47.9663°N, 116.8685°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. Spirit Lake is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 83869.Spirit Lake occupies a quiet, forested corner of the northern panhandle where the air holds the scent of damp pine needles and the cooling shadows of late afternoon. It lies 10.7 miles north of Rathdrum, ID (from Rathdrum, ID: bearing 7°T), and is situated 17.6 miles north-northeast of Post Falls. Dense timber stands watch over the land, while the nearby slopes of Pitz Mountain rise to break the horizon, casting long, dark silhouettes across the terrain as the sun dips low. To the west, the gentle depression of Butterworth Draw channels the runoff that feeds the local landscape, while the quiet progress of Spirit Creek traces a path through the woods just a mile away. Residents often gather at the Spirit Lake Access Site, where the water reflects the deep, unchanging blue of the Idaho sky, offering a stillness that seems to slow the very passage of time.
Logging once dictated the pulse of Spirit Lake, providing the raw timber that fueled the early growth of this woodland region. While the economy has shifted toward a blend of local service and quiet residential life, the remnants of that industrial era remain in the sturdy, unadorned architecture that defines the local streets. The influence of the broader region is felt in the steady, pragmatic pace of the people, who maintain a connection to the geography that feels both respectful and grounded. Though Lake Pend Oreille lies twelve miles distant, the identity of Spirit Lake is defined by its own immediate surroundings—the thickets of cedar and fir, the quiet intersections of rural roads, and the persistent, clear light that clarifies every detail of the forest floor at dusk.

About This Spirit Lake Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Spirit Lake, Idaho. Coordinates: 47.966292, -116.868531. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Spirit Lake includes the ZIP code (83869), telephone area code (208, 986), county seat of Kootenai County (Coeur d'Alene), and school district assignment (Lakeland Joint School District 272).
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
