About this map

The Thompson River and Clark Fork converge in this Sanders County landscape, creating a focal point for early 21st-century infrastructure and historical industry. Near the settlement of Snider, the Thompson River Spur indicates the area's rail-reliant economic history, while Thompson River Rd and River Rd W provide the primary transit corridors through the river valleys. The northern hills are marked by a cluster of mineral claims, including the Copper King Mine, Raven Mine, and Silver King Mine, centered around the steep topography of Buckeye Canyon and Liver Gulch.

Away from the water, the terrain rises toward Kookoosint Ridge and Eddy Mountain, where the land is dotted with remote water bodies like Outlaw Lake and Quail Lake. Small settlements like Eddy sit along the banks of the Clark Fork, served by a network of drainage creeks including Malone Creek and Quartz Creek. This map documents a region where recreational access at the Copper King Campground exists alongside a legacy of mountain mining.
