1952 Map of Twin Crags

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Twin Crags and Mount Wiessner dominate this section of the Idaho panhandle, marking the high country where the Coeur d'Alene National Forest meets the St Joe National Forest. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition across the St Joe Divide, where various drainages like Pine Creek and Jackass Creek carry water north toward the Coeur d'Alene River system. Prospecting and resource extraction are evident in the northern reaches, particularly at the Palisade Mine near Latour Peak and scattered Prospects further east. The proximity of Mirror Lake to these high peaks suggests a geography of high-altitude basins typical of the region's mineral-rich districts. This 1952 edition reflects the area during a period of active timber and mining interest, long before modern wilderness designations reshaped local land use.
