1958 Map of Bodie Mtn

About this map

The Canada United States border forms the northern limit of this late-1950s survey, where the peaks of the Okanogan National Forest and Colville National Forest meet. The mining legacy of the region is evident in the numerous operations scattered across the high country, including the Magnetic Mine near Buckhorn Mtn and the Silver Bell Mine further south. Settlement is clustered along the waterways, with Toroda situated at the bend of the Kettle River, while Bodie and Old Toroda mark the path of Toroda Creek. The map documents a rugged landscape of active lookouts and remote camps, such as Bodie Mtn Lookout and Gold Axe Camp. A small Cem near the river and the presence of a Ferry crossing into British Columbia highlight the area's role as a transit point for local industry and residents during this era.
