1950 Map of Rochat Peak

About this map

Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation lands dominate the western half of this 1950s-era landscape, where the Former Boundary Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation line is clearly delineated across the northern ridges. The terrain is defined by the high crest of the St Joe Divide, which separates the drainages of the Coeur d'Alene National Forest and the St Joe National Forest. Prominent summits like Rochat Peak and Kootenai Peak anchor the central topography, providing a detailed view of the remote northern Idaho wilderness before modern development. High-altitude landmarks such as Eagle Lookout and the secluded Crystal Lake are noted along the steep slopes of Black Rock Ridge. Numerous watercourses, including Latour Creek and Robinson Creek, carve through the valleys, following the natural survey lines of the Boise Meridian.
