1981 Map of Lane

About this map

The Coeur d'Alene National Forest dominates this northern Idaho landscape, where high mountain ridges and deep drainage draws meet the water. In the northeast corner, Fourth of July Summit marks a significant high point near the Mullan Tree Historic Site, a node of local heritage. To the south, the terrain descends toward the South Fork Coeur d'Alene River, which meanders through a wetland-rich valley containing Killarney Lake and the distinctive Popcorn Island. The industrial and transportation patterns of the early 1980s are evident in the presence of the Union Pacific railroad line and scattered operations like the Quarry near Rose Creek. The small settlement of Lane serves as a focal point along the river valley, connected by a network of forest roads and trails that traverse landmarks such as Beauty Saddle and Hogback Ridge.
