About this map

The rugged mountainside settlement of Lakeview overlooks the eastern shore of Lake Pend Oreille, serving as a central point for the region's historic mineral extraction. This 2011 survey reveals an intricate network of mountain roads and mining sites concentrated along the drainages of Gold Creek and North Gold Creek. The landscape is defined by its industrial legacy, with numerous named operations such as the Vulcan Mine, Silver Leaf Mine, and the Idaho Lakeview Mine scattered across the steep terrain.

Transport routes like Lakeview Rd and Pend Oreille Divide Rd navigate the elevation between peaks like Prospect Peak and Honey Mountain. The density of claims, including the Conjecture Mine and Keep Cool Mine, suggests a complex history of sub-surface exploration that persisted well into the modern era. Smaller drainages like Chloride Gulch and Kick Bush Gulch further emphasize the mineral-rich character of this North Idaho wilderness.
