About this map

Coeur d'Alene National Forest dominates this landscape, where the Coeur d'Alene River winds through a complex system of wetlands and lakes. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Elk Mountain and Killarney Mountain, which is notable for its Killarney Mountain Electronic Site. Historic passage through the area is anchored by the Mullan Tree Historic Site near Fourth of July Canyon, marking the path of the early military road.

Down in the valley, the Lane settlement sits near the riverbanks, surrounded by the Coeur d'Alene River State Wildlife Management Area. Water features are central to the geography here, ranging from the expansive Killarney Lake and its Popcorn Island to numerous mountain drainages such as Varnum Creek and Armstrong Creek. The presence of a Prospect and a Quarry suggests the enduring intersection of natural preservation and resource extraction in northern Idaho.
