1969 Map of Boyds

About this map

Boyds serves as the focal point for this 1969 topographic study, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad corridor on the western bank of the Kettle River Arm. The landscape is dominated by the steep rises of the Colville National Forest, where watercourses like Deadman Creek and Nancy Creek carve deep valleys through the terrain. The eastern edge of the map shows the transition to the Lake Roosevelt reservoir, protected within the Coulee Dam National Recreation Area. High-elevation landmarks such as Thompson Ridge and Hoodoo Mountain define the western reaches, while the Sherman Creek State Wildlife Recreation Area occupies the southern boundary. This map captures the intersection of critical river-valley transportation routes and the expansive timberlands of Ferry County during the late 1960s.
