About this map

The town of Athol serves as a central hub on this 1996 revision, positioned along the railroad where the Station and Athol Elementary School define the local community. The landscape is characterized by the transition from the relatively flat expanse of Eightmile Prairie in the south to the timbered reaches of the Kaniksu National Forest in the north and the Coeur d'Alene National Forest toward the southeast.

Evidence of local recreation and industry is prominent, from the developed Silverwood Amusement Park near the center of the sheet to the various Gravel Pit operations scattered throughout the terrain. Aviation interests are represented by both the Athol Airport and Henley Airstrip. Genealogists may find value in the location of Mountain View Cemetery, while those interested in local transit can trace Bunco Road and the rail junctions at Corbin Junction and North Pole.
