1966 Map of Aladdin

About this map

Aladdin serves as the central focal point for this mid-century survey of the high country along the Stevens and Pend Oreille County line. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of mineral extraction, with the Morning Mine, Burrus Mine, and Aladdin Mine all positioned along the slopes of Aladdin Mountain. These industrial sites are linked by a network of drainage systems including Deep Creek and the headwaters of Mill Creek. Further south, the map reveals a more settled aspect of the high valleys, specifically within the Bon Ayre Valley. This area preserves the location of the Bon Ayre School and Bon Ayre Spring, indicating a pocket of community life tucked between the prominent heights of Ensley Ridge and Bon Ayre Ridge. The presence of Polley Cabin and various jeep trails suggests a region shaped by both persistent mining interests and isolated mountain living.
