1985 Map of Sanders

About this map

Sanders serves as the primary settlement hub on this mid-1980s survey, situated where the Coeur D'Alene Indian Reservation meets the northern reaches of the St Joe National Forest. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, most notably Hangman Creek and its South Fork, which carve through the high ground marked by Hump and Prospect Peak. A small local Cem is located near the village of Sanders, providing a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing families in this part of Benewah and Latah Counties. The western edge of the map includes a portion of the Mary Minerva McCroskey Memorial State Park, which stretches along the ridgeline including Marsh Hill. This transition between reservation land, national forest, and state park highlights a complex mosaic of land management and natural resources in northern Idaho.
