1968 Map of Colburn

About this map

Colburn sits at the nexus of the North Idaho timber and rail corridor, where the Great Northern railroad tracks parallel the course of Sand Creek. This 1960s-era survey highlights the transition from the valley floor to the dense backcountry of the Kaniksu National Forest. The landscape is defined by the winding Pack River and several significant tributaries, including Hellroaring Creek and Caribou Creek. Near the northern boundary, the elevation drops sharply at Hellroaring Falls, while high points like Hellroaring Ridge dominate the western horizon.
