1963 Map of Alexander Mountain

About this map

The Kootenai River carves a deep valley through the Kootenai National Forest in this 1963 survey, where the Great Northern railroad tracks trace the eastern shoreline. The small settlements of Warland and Yarnell occupy narrow benches of land along the river, positioned between the water and the rising terrain of Gopher Hill and Alexander Mountain. This specific era captures the landscape before significant modern changes, documenting the intricate system of drainages such as Cripple Horse Creek and Warland Creek that feed into the main river channel.
