About this map

The Coeur d'Alene National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape, where the Coeur d'Alene River winds through the southern lowlands near the Kootenai Co Shoshone Co line. This region serves as a critical transportation corridor, defined by the parallel paths of the Union Pacific railroad and the Pacific Highway. These routes connect the small riverfront settlements of Cataldo, Dudley, and Kingston.

A notable landmark of early Idaho history, the Cataldo Mission stands near the river, signifying the area's long-standing role as a cultural and transit hub. The map also records essential community infrastructure of the 1950s, such as the Canyon School and an Airway Beacon, alongside recreational spots like Rose Lake and Honeysuckle Campground. From the river valley, the terrain rises sharply toward prominent summits including Monument Mtn and Bumblebee Peak.
