About this map

Mount Spokane State Park dominates the landscape of this 1939 survey, capturing the early recreational and industrial life of the Selkirk Mountains before mid-century development. The summit area, featuring Mt Carson and Bald Knob, shows the locations of the Selkirk Ski Club and Spokane Ski Club, signaling the region's emergence as a winter sports destination. To the east, the Idaho border is defined by the waters of Newman Lake and Hauser Lake.

Rural community life is well-documented through a network of small schoolhouses like Independent Sch, Mt Carlton Sch, and Foothills Sch. Evidence of the area's timber history is preserved in the path of the Fish Lake Logging R R winding through the northern hills. Along the southern edge, the settlement of Peone and the Peone Store serve as focal points for the agricultural residents living near Deadman Creek.
