1913 Map of Priest Lake

About this map

The Sandpoint rail hub and the wild northern Panhandle are documented here before the mid-century expansion of modern highways. This region was defined by its extractive industry and rail connectivity, with the Great Northern, Northern Pacific, and Spokane International railroads carving routes through the mountains. Industry is marked by several notable extraction sites including the Continental Mine near the Canadian border and the Mountain Chief Mine further south.
