2020 Map of Kellogg West

About this map

Industrial history and mountain geography intersect at the western edge of the Silver Valley, where the South Fork Coeur d'Alene River corridor contains a dense string of mining-era settlements. Kellogg and Smelterville anchor the eastern side of the sheet, while the topography to the south is marked by the distinct legacy of lead and silver extraction in places like Smelter Heights, Government Gulch, and Deadwood Gulch. To the north, the North Fork Coeur d'Alene River winds through the Coeur d'Alene National Forest, passing the smaller communities of Enaville and Linfor. The transition from the valley floor, home to the Shoshone County Airport, to the high ridges of Graham Mtn and Fubar Peak illustrates the challenging terrain that shaped the development of this Idaho panhandle resource district.
