About this map

Mount Coeur d'Alene dominates the landscape of the Coeur d'Alene National Forest in this mid-1990s survey. The map details a rugged terrain defined by timber and minerals, with the Mount Coeur d'Alene Lookout providing a high-altitude vantage point over the complex shoreline of Coeur d'Alene Lake. A network of extraction sites like the Caribou Mine, Gray Wolf Mine, and Silver Tip Mine point to a history of prospecting along Caribou Ridge and Mineral Ridge.

Waterfront activity is concentrated at the northern edges of the sheet, where Wolf Lodge Bay and Beauty Bay meet the forested uplands. While most of the area is managed forest land, the presence of the Mineral Ridge Boat Ramp and the Caribou Ridge National Recreation Trail illustrates the region's importance for public access and recreation. Near the western edge, the small settlement of Eddyville sits by Squaw Bay, marking one of the few named communities in this high-relief terrain.
