1968 Map of Diamond Lake

About this map

The Pend Oreille River flows across the northern section of this landscape, its banks defined by the small settlement of Dalkena and the siding at Furport. The southern half of the map centers on the community of Diamond Lake, a notable local destination featuring Cowles Camp and a public campground. The transit infrastructure of the late 1960s is anchored by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which follows the river's curve and skirts Furport Hill. Between the river and the lake, the terrain rises into the highlands of Saddle Mountain, crisscrossed by the Coyote Trail and various Jeep Trails. Local industry and resource extraction are represented by scattered Gravel Pits and a Sandpit near Deer Valley, while smaller water bodies like Mountain Meadows Lake and Panhandle Lake dot the forested interior.
