About this map

The settlement of Lane serves as a small anchor in this corner of the Coeur d'Alene National Forest, situated near the southern edge of the survey where Lane Creek meets the broader wetlands. The landscape here is defined by the transition from the high, timbered ridges of Killarney Mtn and Elk Mtn down to the watery expanse of Killarney Lake. For genealogists and local historians, the Lane Cem is clearly marked south of the town site.

Complex drainage systems are evident through the numerous named draws and saddles, such as Rodney Draw and Chatfield Saddle, which shape the local topography. The northern reaches of the map are dominated by the Fourth of July Summit and the deep Fourth of July Canyon, highlighting the importance of these mountain passes for regional travel. Popcorn Island sits as a distinctive landmark within the lake, illustrating the intricate shoreline of this river-fed system.
