[1][2][3] Many old maps of Sutherland show evidence of the existence of Loch Choire from various sources from as far back as the 19th century.

[7] However many older maps didn't show obvious evidence of Loch Choire and those that did didn't give much detail due to the area not having been surveyed much at that time.

[8][9] Additionally Ordnance Survey has had the Loch marked and visited since 1961.

The loch is elevated 173 metres above sea level and has four settlements on it: Loch Choire Lodge, Coire Na Fearna, Alltnaba and Alltalaird.

Allt Coire Na Fearna flows into Loch Choire from the south bringing in water from peaks such as Creag Riabhach na Gheighe, Meall an Fhuarain, Meall na Caillich and Meall a' Bhata.
