About this map

The city of Coeur d'Alene serves as the focal point of this 1981 survey, where the urban grid meets the northern shores of Coeur d'Alene Lake. During this era, the landscape shows a mix of established neighborhoods and expanding infrastructure, including Interstate 90 and the Burlington Northern railroad lines. Educational and medical institutions such as North Idaho College and the Kootenai Mem Hospital highlight the town's role as a regional center.

North of the city, the Rathdrum Prairie transitions into specialized land use, notably the U S Forest Service Nursery and the residential community of Dalton Gardens. To the west, the industrial and transport history is visible around Huetter and the various Gravel Pits that dot the river valley. The map is particularly valuable for genealogists, detailing several burial grounds including Forest Cem, St Thomas Cem, and Restlawn Memorial Park.
