About this map

Lake Pend Oreille dominates the eastern and southern edges of this area, where the rugged terrain of the Kaniksu National Forest meets the water. The landscape is defined by its mining history, evidenced by the cluster of labels around Talache, including the Talache Mine and the Gold Coin Mine along Bimetallic Ridge. These sites, along with the Mine Dump and Talache Landing, suggest a specialized industrial community that once thrived on the extraction of ore from Prospect Mountain.

Further north, the community at Garfield (Midas) provides a hub for maritime activity with Boat Ramps and a Roadside Park along the shores of Garfield Bay. Educational and social foundations of the era are marked by the Newman School and a rural Cem near Gamlin Lake. Small interior water bodies like Eaton Lake and Livermore Lake are scattered through the hills, while Camp Bay and Camp Stidwell indicate the area's transition into a destination for recreation and lakeside living.
