About this map

Coeur d'Alene Lake defines the northern reaches of this Idaho landscape, where the jagged shoreline creates deep inlets at Wolf Lodge Bay and Beauty Bay. This early 1980s data reveals a terrain dominated by the timber and mineral interests of the Coeur d'Alene National Forest. Economic activity is visible through a network of remote sites, including the Caribou Mine, Gray Wolf Mine, and Silver Tip Mine, while the Lookout Tower atop Mount Coeur d'Alene stands as a sentinel over the surrounding ridges.

Recreation and local infrastructure center on the lakeshore at the settlement of Eddyville and the Beauty Creek Campground. The map traces the rugged ascent from the water's edge at an elevation of 2125 feet up to prominent landmarks like Mineral Ridge and Turner Peak. Numerous small prospects and drainages such as Caribou Creek and Varnum Creek illustrate the historical intersection of resource extraction and the region's natural geography.
