About this map

Pend Oreille Lake defines the western edge of this landscape, where the settlement of Lakeview sits at the foot of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains. The early 1960s terrain is marked by a legacy of hard-rock mining, with a dense cluster of operations including the Lakeview Mines, Conjecture Mine, Keep Cool Mine, and Idaho Lakeview Mine situated along the drainages of Gold Creek and Chloride Gulch.

Further east, the map reveals the administrative and ranching footprint within the Coeur d'Alene National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest. Key landmarks such as the Radio Facility Magee Ranger Station, Trail Creek Work Center, and Erickson Ranch provide evidence of the era's forest management and isolated mountain habitations. The complex topography is punctuated by numerous peaks like Magee Peak and Leiberg Peak, while a network of Jeep Trails provides the primary access through the remote timber and mining districts.
