About this map

Medimont serves as the focal point of this northern Idaho landscape, situated where the Coeur d'Alene River meets a complex of wetlands including Cave Lake, Medicine Lake, and Swan Lake. The terrain rises sharply from the river valley into several significant peaks, such as Medicine Mountain and Rainy Hill, the latter of which features the Rainy Hill Campground. This topographic survey captures the area's mix of recreation and industry, identifying the New Rainbow Mine and Old Rainbow Mine located along Evans Creek toward the eastern boundary.

Evidence of historical management and survey infrastructure is clear at the northeastern corner of the map, where the Initial Peak Lookout House sits atop Initial Peak. The rural character of Kootenai County is further documented through local features like the Medimont Cemetery and the small settlement at Three Forks. A dense network of forest roads, including S Eagle Peak Rd and S Robinson Creek Rd, provides access into the high ridges of Smith Ridge and Grassy Mountain.
