 | | In north Idaho the Coeur d´Alene (CdA) River channel and its floodplain are mostly covered by metal-enriched sediments, partially derived from upstream mining, milling and smelting wastes. |
 | | The map covers the river, its floodplain, and adjacent hills, from the confluence of the North and South Forks of the CdA River to its mouth and delta front on CdA Lake, 43 linear km (26 mi) to the southwest (river distance 58 km or 36 mi). |
 | | At the mouth of the river, a bouyancy-dominated river-mouth bar crests beyond the ends of the emergent levees. |
