1985 Map of Burke

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Burke, Mace, and Gem sit deep within the narrow corridors of the Coeur d'Alene mining district, representing the concentrated industrial settlement of Shoshone County during the mid-1980s. The landscape is defined by its verticality and the pervasive influence of the silver and lead mining industry, visible in the Tailings deposits along Prichard Creek and the numerous named peaks like Tiger Peak and Custer Peak. This survey captures a specific moment when the traditional mining camps along Canyon Creek remained clearly delineated against the steep slopes of the Coeur d'Alene National Forest. The map traces the rugged divide at the Idaho-Montana border, where high-altitude landmarks such as Tamarack Saddle and Granite Peak overlook the labyrinth of gulches that once fueled the region's mineral wealth.
