About this map

Tobacco Plains dominates the center of this Lincoln County survey, illustrating the international borderlands where the United States and Canada meet at Roosville. The landscape transitions from the open stretches of Iowa Flats to the forested slopes of the Kootenai National Forest. Significant infrastructure of the early 1960s is mapped in detail, including the Great Northern railroad corridor following the Tobacco River and the Eureka Airfield.

The town of Eureka serves as a local hub, supported by the Roosville School and Iowa Flats School. Local hydrology is well-defined, featuring numerous glacial lakes such as Sophie Lake, Moran Lake, and Tetrault Lake. Technical details from the era are captured through the inclusion of a Gaging Station and a Ranger Station, alongside the industrial presence of several Gravel Pits scattered near the Siphon lines.
