1985 Map of Kellogg West

About this map

Kellogg and its neighboring mining-era settlements sit at the heart of this mid-1980s Shoshone County landscape, where the South Fork Coeur D'alene River corridor dictates the region's industrial and residential layout. The map documents a complex landscape of heavy industry and natural forest, notably featuring extensive tailings areas near Smelterville and the deep incisions of Government Gulch. These industrial features contrast with the sprawling Coeur D'Alene National Forest that dominates the northern and southern elevations. Local infrastructure such as the Shoshone County Airport, a Rodeo Ground, and the local golf course are mapped alongside numerous small drainages like Milo Creek and Jackass Creek. This survey records the late-century footprint of the Silver Valley, from the residential streets of Pinehurst to the high points of Haystack Peak and Fubar Peak.
