1985 Map of Mission Mountain

About this map

Mary Minerva Mc Croskey Memorial State Park anchors this mid-1980s survey, straddling the high ridges where the Latah and Benewah County line meets. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of the St Joe National Forest, where the various forks of Pine Creek and Silver Creek carve through the timbered slopes. This era of land management is captured in detail, showing the intersection of state park land with the Coeur D'Alene Indian Reservation and federal forest territory. Notable elevations like Huckleberry Mountain, Mission Mountain, and Mineral Mountain provide a clear view of the topographical challenges for early road building and forest service access. The map also records localized features like Mountain Jack Lane, offering a specific look at rural access points during this period of the Idaho Panhandle's history.
