1906 Map of Coeur D'Alene District

About this map

Silver and lead mining operations dominate this mountainous landscape during the height of the Coeur D'Alene district's production. The heavy industrial concentration is evident along the South Fork Coeur d'Alene River, where the Northern Pacific and Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Co. lines serve a dense network of major operations like the Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mine and the Hecla Mine. Deep underground activity is marked by significant engineering feats such as the Kellogg Tunnel and the Morning Mine Tunnel. Settlements such as Wallace, Kellogg, and Mullan appear as established hubs amidst a terrain of peaks including Sunset Peak and Tiger Peak. To the north, the terrain around Murray and the North Fork Coeur d'Alene River reflects the earlier placer mining era of the region.
