About this map

The Coeur d'Alene Mountains and the Bitterroot Range dominate this northern Idaho landscape, where the confluence of the Spokane River and Coeur d'Alene Lake meets the expansive Rathdrum Prairie. This 1987 survey details a region defined by its timber and mineral wealth, as evidenced by the Sunshine Mine and Bradbury Mine in the east. The map shows the suburban expansion of Coeur D'Alene and Post Falls alongside more traditional settlements like Athol, Cataldo, and Kingston.

Transport corridors are a primary feature, tracing the routes of the Spokane International Railroad, Burlington Northern Railroad, and Interstate 90 as they navigate the difficult terrain. The southern reaches are marked by the Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation, while significant conservation and heritage sites appear at Farragut State Park and Old Mission State Park, anchoring the historical narrative of the Panhandle.
