1969 Map of Bossburg

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Bossburg sits along the eastern bank of the Franklin D Roosevelt Lake, a reservoir formed by the damming of the Columbia River in Stevens County. In this late 1960s landscape, the Burlington Northern railroad follows the water's edge, connecting the small riverside settlement to the broader regional economy. The area's industrial character is defined by extraction, with the Young America Mine and Northwest Marble Mine situated near the bluffs, alongside an active Quarry. To the west, the terrain rises sharply toward Kelly Hill and Jumbo Mountain, while several small water bodies like Glasgo Lakes and Ryan Lake dot the upland benches. This map illustrates the intersection of heavy industry, early recreational development at the North Gorge Campground, and the shifting geography of the Columbia River basin following mid-century hydroelectric projects.
