About this map

The St. Regis River valley serves as a critical transportation corridor through the high country of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains and the Bitterroot Range. This mid-century survey captures a landscape defined by the parallel tracks of the Northern Pacific and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads, which thread through small mountain settlements like Haugan, De Borgia, and Henderson.

Beyond the rail lines, the map details a region deeply tied to extraction and forest management within the Lolo National Forest. Numerous mining operations are identified across the slopes, including the Saltese Consolidated Mine and Black Traveler Mine. Fire lookouts, such as those at Up Up Lookout and Newman Peak Lookout, survey the dense topography, while family-named landmarks like McManus Creek and Brooks Mtn hint at the local history of Mineral County.
