1975 Map of Lane SW

About this map

Mount Coeur d'Alene dominates this orthophoto quadrangle, where the high timbered ridges of the Idaho panhandle meet the northern reaches of Lake Coeur d'Alene. Captured in the mid-1970s through aerial photography, the imagery reveals a landscape of dense forest management and complex topography. The shoreline of Wolf Lodge Bay is visible at the northern edge, showing the intersection of waterway and land. The drainage of Carlin Creek carves through the lower elevations, while Red Horse Mtn stands as a prominent landmark to the east. This specialized survey, produced in cooperation with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Soil Conservation Service, uses scanned photoimagery to provide a clear view of the road networks and timber harvest patterns that defined the regional economy during this era.
