1957 Map of St. Joe

About this map

St Joe River carves a deep winding path through this North Idaho mountain landscape, serving as the primary corridor for transportation and settlement in the late 1950s. The northern banks are defined by the steep slopes of the Coeur d'Alene National Forest, where peaks like Latour Baldy and Boise Peak loom over complex drainage systems including Jackass Creek and Lutour Creek. The industrial footprint of the era is evident at the Palisade Mine and the small outpost of Mineral, while localized activity centers on Muellers Camp and Omega.
