2011 Map of Prichard

About this map

The North Fork Coeur d'Alene River carves a deep path through Shoshone County, serving as the primary corridor for settlement and transit in this remote drainage. The 2011 landscape centers on the small communities of Prichard and Eagle, which are connected by Prichard Creek Rd. This area is defined by a dense network of gulches named for early prospectors and settlers, including George Gulch, Ucelly Gulch, and McComber Gulch, illustrating the region's long history of mineral exploration. High points such as Sparta Peak and Prichard Peak overlook the river valley, while recreational spots like Shoshone Forest Camp and Avery Creek Picnic Area mark the modern use of the forest lands. Researchers can trace the winding paths of Coeur d'Alene River Rd and various Forest Service routes like Nat For Dev Rd 208 as they follow the steep topography.
