About this map

Mount Coeur d'Alene Lookout Tower dominates the central landscape of this Kootenai County survey, standing as a high point within the Coeur d'Alene National Forest. The map details the complex shoreline of Coeur d'Alene Lake, where protected inlets like Wolf Lodge Bay, Beauty Bay, and Squaw Bay meet the steep, timbered ridges of the Idaho panhandle. Along the eastern shores, the settlement of Eddyville and various recreation points such as the Beauty Creek Campground indicate the area's development for both seasonal residents and outdoor enthusiasts.

Industrial history is etched into the hillsides through several mining claims. The Gray Wolf Mine, Silver Tip Mine, and Bed Horse Mine are located alongside Caribou Creek and the surrounding heights, reflecting the region's long association with mineral extraction. Further south, the terrain transitions into more isolated peaks like Red Horse Mountain and Cottonwood Peak, with high-elevation waters such as Blue Lake tucked between the ridges, accessible only by a network of forest roads like Coeur d'Alene Mountain Road and Burma Rd.
