| $500.00 | McLean--Marie | Rare-Pictorial-Map-of-the-Idaho-Panhandle-and-Northwest-Montana | Rare pictorial map of northern Idaho and northwestern Montana, drawn by Marie McLean and lithographed by Ross Hall Scenics of Sandpoint, Idaho in 1966. The map celebrates the region's lakes, mountains, forests, historic sites, and recreational attractions, extending from the Canadian border south to the Coeur d'Alene area.

The map features numerous illustrations of wildlife, skiers, boats, and outdoor activities, with particular attention to the Selkirk and Purcell Mountains and the lakes of the Idaho Panhandle. Historical annotations recall the region's exploration and settlement, while references to the 1965 Girl Scout Roundup and the planned 1967 Boy Scout World Jamboree at Farragut reflect the area's growing importance as a recreational destination. A panoramic lakeside scene along the lower border emphasizes the region's appeal to tourists and vacationers.

Copyrighted March 18, 1966, the map is an attractive example of mid-20th-century American promotional cartography, combining regional history, geography, and whimsical illustrations to celebrate the natural attractions of the inland Northwest.
