About this map

Sacred Heart Mission and the Cataldo Mission stand near the southern banks of the Coeur d'Alene River, anchoring a landscape where religious history and the timber industry intersect. This 1990s record of Shoshone County shows the Mission Flats area preserved within Old Mission State Park, while the surrounding terrain remains dominated by the Coeur d'Alene National Forest.

Industry is represented by a sawmill tucked into Mission Gulch and a mine shaft located south of Drummond Peak. The settlement patterns at Cataldo and Kingston follow the river valley, with the S Fork Coeur d'Alene River joining the main branch near the eastern edge of the survey. Topographic details like the Tenth Standard Parallel North and the county boundary between Kootenai Co and Shoshone Co provide precise geographic context for local researchers and genealogists.
