About this map

The Moyie River corridor serves as the central artery for transportation and settlement in this northern Idaho mountain landscape, where the Spokane International River railroad parallels the water. Straddling the United States-Canada border, the international crossing at Eastport marks the northernmost point of this survey. The terrain is defined by steep ridges like Hellroaring Ridge and prominent peaks including Bussard Mtn and Queen Mtn, which host historical mineral interests at the Tilley Mine and Queen Mine.

Smaller settlements and outposts such as Addie, Good Grief, and Sinclair are scattered along the river valley, providing evidence of the rural infrastructure of the mid-1960s. High-altitude landmarks like the Snyder Guard Station and the Radio Tower atop Hogue Mtn underscore the administrative and communication needs of the Kaniksu National Forest. In the western portion, the map reveals the distinct topography of Round Prairie and the recreational development at Robinson Lake.
