1981 Map of Coeur D'Alene

About this map

The Spokane River exits the northern tip of Coeur d'Alene Lake in this 1981 survey, illustrating a period of established residential and educational infrastructure. The city's northern expansion is evident in the residential grid of Dalton Gardens and the US Forest Service Nursery on the Rathdrum Prairie. Several prominent institutions are mapped, including North Idaho College near Independence Point and the Kootenai Mem Hospital. Industrial and transport footprints remain central to the landscape, with the Burlington Northern railroad skirting the riverbanks and numerous gravel operations near Huetter. The map also captures significant local landmarks like Tubbs Hill and several historic burial grounds, including St Thomas Cem and Forest Cem, providing a detailed look at the community's mid-century growth and civic organization.
