1913 Map of Priest Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

The Sandpoint and Bonners Ferry rail corridors dominate this 1913 survey of the Idaho panhandle, illustrating the region's early industrial footprint. Transcontinental transit is evidenced by the Great Northern RR and the Spokane International RR, which connect timber and mining outposts through the Cabinet and Selkirk Mountains. The map documents an era when river crossings were vital, specifically noting the Baldwin Ferry on the Pend Oreille River and the Carey Ferry near the southern border. Mining operations are scattered across the Kaniksu National Forest, with the Continental Mine near the United States Canada Boundary Line and the Mountain Chief Mine further south. Notable for local historians are the numerous siding settlements like Pack River Siding and Summit Siding, which highlight the rail-dependent economy of the early twentieth century.
