About this map

Industrial activity along the South Fork Coeur D'Alene River defines this mid-1980s landscape in Shoshone County. Extensive Tailings deposits between Smelterville and Kellogg signify the region's deep mining and smelting history, while the proximity of the Shoshone County Airport and a Golf Course indicate the area's development into a regional hub. The map captures a moment when traditional industry and civic infrastructure coexisted at the edge of the Coeur D'Alene National Forest.

To the south, steep drainages like Government Gulch and Deadwood Gulch lead toward the community of Wardner, reflecting a settlement pattern dictated by narrow valleys and mineral wealth. This survey also documents the confluence of the north and south forks near Enaville, and provides a detailed view of family-named landmarks and ridges, including Maude Ridge and Mc Kinley Ridge, which are essential for tracing local land use and genealogical ties in the Idaho Panhandle.
