1952 Map of Boundary

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The United States Canada border defines the northern edge of this 1952 survey, where the Columbia River flows south toward the newly formed Franklin D Roosevelt Lake. The landscape is a mix of high mountain peaks like Mitchell Mountain and industrial remnants, with the Great Northern railroad tracing the river's eastern bank. Evidence of the region's mining history is scattered across the terrain, from the Simons Mine near the international boundary to the Scandia Mine and Stoddard Mtn Mine in the south. The rural character of the era is preserved through landmarks such as the Deep Creek Sch and the Forest Home Cemetery, alongside family names like Lind Ranch and Moraski Flat. This map captures a specific moment when the river valley was transitioning into a managed reservoir system, yet remained deeply rooted in its hard-rock mining and homesteading past.
