About this map

Mt Spokane dominates this 1939 survey of the Washington and Idaho borderlands, showing the early infrastructure of Mount Spokane State Park during a period of expanding recreational use. The terrain is marked by significant winter sports sites including the Selkirk Ski Club and Spokane Ski Club, while the surrounding lowlands reveal a network of rural schools like Oxritter Sch and Independent Sch.

South of the mountain, the landscape transitions into the Peone Foothills and the agricultural pocket of Peone, where the Peone Store served as a local landmark. Large water bodies such as Newman Lake and Hauser Lake anchor the southern boundary, surrounded by a series of family-named peaks including Mt Carson and Quartz Mtn. The map clearly delineates the Washington-Idaho state line as it cuts through the rugged timber and creek drainages of Bonner and Kootenai counties.
