About this map

Coeur d'Alene Lake dominates this mid-1990s landscape, its complex shoreline defined by numerous protected coves and prominent points like University Point and Pilot Rock. The eastern side of the lake shows a concentration of recreational and institutional activity, including Camp Easton and multiple landing strips, while the western shore is characterized by significant conservation and administrative boundaries. The Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation boundary and the Coeur d'Alene National Forest meet here, reflecting the diverse land management history of the Idaho Panhandle.

Industrial and recreational uses coexist near the water, with both a quarry and pit located near Mica Flats and Mica Bay County Campground. Local landmarks like Goulds Landing and Toad Rock provide fine-grained spatial references for genealogists and local historians. The presence of the Mica Bay SWMA and Loffs Bay SWMA highlights the era's focus on wildlife management and habitat preservation along the scenic Mica Bay shoreline.
