About this map

Coeur D'Alene Lake dominates this topographical landscape at the close of the 20th century, serving as the primary geographic focal point where the Coeur D'alene River and St Joe River converge. The town of Harrison occupies a strategic position on the eastern shore, overlooking the water near the Coeur D'Alene River State Wildlife Management Area. The map details the complex shoreline of numerous bays, including Powderhorn Bay and Bell Bay, which define the recreational and residential character of the region.

Evidence of the area's cultural and administrative history is visible in the Coeur D'alene Indian Reservation and the Old Indian Reservation Boundary crossing the lake. To the south, Heyburn State Park encompasses Chatcolet Lake and Hidden Lake, while high points like Mason Butte and Talbot Hill provide significant vertical relief. Local landmarks such as the Cem near Harrison Flats and Conkling Park offer specific points of interest for genealogists and researchers tracking family roots in Kootenai County.
