1968 Map of Laclede

About this map

The Pend Oreille River dominates this northern Idaho landscape, carving a wide path through the timbered reaches of the Kaniksu National Forest. In the late 1960s, the river served as a central artery for transportation and recreation, with the Riley Creek Recreation Area positioned near the settlement of Laclede. The presence of the Burlington Northern railroad along the northern bank and the Spokane International line to the south underscores the area's importance as a Pacific Northwest transit corridor.
