About this map

Wallace serves as the focal point of this 2020 Shoshone County survey, situated where Ninemile Cr meets the S Fork Coeur d'Alene River. The town’s history as a regional hub is evident in the dense street grid including Bank St and High St, and the presence of the Courthouse. To the north, the corridor following the Trail Of The Coeur d'Alene's connects settlements like Osburn, Silverton, and Woodland Park. This narrow valley floor contrasts sharply with the surrounding terrain of the Coeur d'Alene National Forest.

High ridges such as the St Joe Mountains and peaks like Mt Pulaski and Placer Peak define the landscape south of the river. The map details a complex network of drainages including Placer Cr and Slate Cr, alongside family-named sites like Watson Gulch and Dexter Gulch. Local heritage is preserved at the Nine Mile Cem and the Miners Union Cem, reflecting the area's deep-rooted labor and community history.
