1956 Map of St Regis

About this map

The confluence of the Fork Clark Fork and the Clark Fork river defines the settlement of St Regis, where rail and river networks converge against the backdrop of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains. This mid-century survey captures the industrial and transportation corridor of Mineral County, Montana, featuring the competing lines of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Pacific Northern railroads as they navigate the river valley. The landscape is dominated by the Lolo National Forest, marked by numerous fire-watch landmarks including the Flat Rock Lookout Station, Camel Hump Lookout Sta, and Arvilla Lookout Sta. Above the gulches and creeks, peaks like Cherry Peak and Sunset Peak overlook a terrain dotted with small-scale mines and the St Regis Beacon, reflecting the era's reliance on both resource extraction and aerial navigation aids.
