1956 Map of Wallace

About this map

Wallace and the silver-mining district of northern Idaho serve as the western anchor for this mid-century survey, which tracks the corridor of U.S. 10 across the Bitterroot Range into Montana. The landscape is dominated by a succession of protected lands, including the Kaniksu National Forest and Lolo National Forest, where the topography is defined by the Buffalo Bill Divide and the St Regis River. The eastern portion of the map is centered on the Flathead Indian Reservation and the southern reaches of Flathead Lake, featuring shoreline developments like Wild Horse Island State Park and the town of Polson.
