1957 Map of Coeur D'Alene

About this map

Coeur d'Alene Lake and the Spokane River serve as the focal points for this mid-century survey, illustrating a landscape defined by timber, water, and expanding timber-town infrastructure. The northern portion of the map showcases the agricultural transition of Rathdrum Prairie, while the shoreline is dotted with industrial and civic markers such as the mills at Gibbs and Blackwell, and the Junior College in the city center. A dense network of railroads, including the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific, converges at Grand Junction, highlighting the region's importance as a transportation hub for the Inland Northwest.
