1967 Map of Aladdin Mtn

About this map

Aladdin Mountain and the high peaks of the Colville National Forest dominate this mid-century survey of the rugged boundary between Stevens and Pend Oreille counties. The map documents an active mining landscape during the late 1960s, featuring the Aladdin Mine, Last Chance Mine, and Middlepoint Mine tucked into the steep slopes. These mineral claims are connected by a network of unimproved roads and 4wd trails that navigate complex terrain between Seldom Seen Mountain and Green Mountain. To the southeast, the geography softens into a chain of glacial lakes, including Lake Thomas, Lake Heritage, and Lake Leo, which feed into the Little Pend Oreille River. The presence of Princess Pine Camp and various meadows like Stewart Meadow suggests a seasonal economy of timber management and recreation that balanced the area's industrial extraction.
