1949 Map of Packsaddle Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Lake Pend Oreille dominates this 1940s landscape, its deep waters and irregular shoreline defining the local economy and settlement patterns of northern Idaho. Along the eastern shore, the Northern Pacific railroad tracks hug the coastline through East Hope and Hope, while the David Thompson State Game Preserve occupies the peninsula nearby. The map reveals a region transitioning from early resource extraction to recreation and preservation, with numerous small mines like the Sulphide Mine and Green Monarch Mine dotting the steep slopes of Packsaddle Mtn and the surrounding national forests.
