1996 Map of Hayden Lake

About this map

Hayden Lake serves as the central focal point of this late 20th-century landscape, characterized by its complex shoreline of numerous points and bays such as O'Rourke Bay and Cramps Bay. Much of the eastern and northern terrain falls within the Coeur d'Alene National Forest, where the topography rises toward Hollister Mountain and Hudlow Mountain. The map illustrates a balance between protected forest lands and lakeside recreation, evidenced by the English Point National Recreation Trail and facilities like Camp Mi-Voden. Small settlements such as Chilco and Clarksville are noted alongside legacy industrial sites, including the Shamrock Mine and Commonwealth Mine. The presence of a Gaging Station and the specific recording of Elevation 2238 July 1958 provide hydrological context for the lake's management at the time of the survey.
