About this map

Medimont sits at the nexus of a complex water and marsh landscape where the Coeur d'Alene River meets the expansive Cave Lake and Medicine Lake. This 1996 survey detail highlights the intricate boundaries of the Coeur d'Alene River State Wildlife Management Area, showing a terrain defined by seasonal water levels and protected habitats. The river is contained by a significant Levee near a prominent Pumping Station, indicating the historical efforts to manage these lowland waters for agriculture and flood control.

Upland from the lakes, the terrain rises into the Coeur d'Alene National Forest and the Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation. These slopes are marked by early industrial activity, including the New Rainbow Mine and Old Rainbow Mine, alongside a Quarry and various prospects. Local transit is facilitated by timber and access routes like Clark Road and Robinson Creek Road, which navigate the drainages of Robinson Creek and Evans Creek.
