1968 Map of Cocolalla

About this map

Cocolalla Lake and the western shores of Pend Oreille Lake dominate this landscape during the late 1960s, a period where the region's industrial and transit infrastructure remained closely tied to the waterfront. The settlement of Cocolalla serves as a focal point along the western corridor, positioned between the dual rail lines of the Northern Pacific and the Spokane International RR. Local education is centered at Southside Sch, while the interior terrain of the Kaniksu National Forest is marked by steep peaks like Blacktail Mtn and Little Blacktail Mtn. On the eastern shore, the Naval Facility and Evans Landing provide evidence of diverse activity along the deep waters of Pend Oreille. A network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails penetrates the timbered ridges, passing by landmarks such as Maiden Rock and several unnamed Mines, reflecting the area's legacy of extraction and high-altitude navigation.
