1996 Map of Lakeview

About this map

Mining operations and rugged peaks define this 1990s survey of the shoreline where Lake Pend Oreille meets the steep terrain of the Panhandle. The settlement of Lakeview serves as the primary hub for this district, which was historically shaped by the extraction of silver and other metals. Extensive workings are documented throughout the hills, including the Idaho Lakeview Mine, Keep Cool Mine, and Silver Leaf Mine. The map highlights the intersection of the Kaniksu National Forest and Coeur d'Alene National Forest, with the boundary between Bonner and Kootenai counties bisecting the drainage of the Little North Fork Coeur d'Alene River. For genealogists and local historians, the Lakeview Cemetery (Aband) and various mountain landmarks like Jackknife Peak provide specific points of interest within the vast national forest lands.
