2011 Map of Kellogg East

About this map

Industrial silver and lead mining operations dominate the corridor along the South Fork Coeur d'Alene River in this Idaho panhandle study. The map documents a high concentration of mineral claims south of the river, including the Sunshine Mine, Polaris Mine, and Nellie Mine. A poignant local landmark, the Sunshine Mine Disaster Memorial, stands near Elk Creek, commemorating the region's difficult mining history. To the west, the city of Kellogg serves as the primary hub, with the Greenwood Cemetery situated on its southeastern edge. The landscape is deeply incised by named gulches such as Italian Gulch and Terror Gulch, reflecting a terrain shaped by both geologic forces and extensive prospecting. Infrastructure supporting the mines is evident in the network of service roads and containment structures like the Sunshine Tailings Number One Dam.
