1957 Map of St. Maries
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The confluence of the St Joe River and the Coeur d'Alene River systems dominates this landscape, where early timber and rail interests shaped the terrain. In the late 1950s, the city of St Maries served as a vital hub for the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which traced the river's winding path through the St Joe National Forest. To the north, Harrison overlooks Coeur d'Alene Lake, while smaller settlements like Springston and Medimont line the Union Pacific tracks. The map records the intricate series of lakes—Anderson Lake, Swan Lake, and Cave Lake—formed by the backup of river waters. Significant landmarks such as Kootenai High School and the Municipal Airport near the St Joe River illustrate the mid-century infrastructure of Benewah County.
