1973 Map of Mica Peak

About this map

The Mica Peak Air Force Station commands the highest elevation in this 1970s survey, marking a significant military presence along the Washington-Idaho state line. This high-altitude installation, supported by several Radio Towers and a dedicated Radio Facility, overlooks a landscape defined by steep drainages and the expansive Liberty Lake Regional Park. The southern portion of the map reveals the region's transport and burial history, with the Mica Peak Cem and Mica Creek Cem located near the former routes of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific Railroad and the Union Pacific Railroad. An Old Railroad Grade further suggests the evolution of local infrastructure near the settlement of Manito. The eastern boundary is defined by the Spokane and Kootenai county line, while the southern reaches include a portion of the Indian Reservation Boundary.
