1963 Map of Eureka North

About this map

The Tobacco Plains of Lincoln County, Montana, define the landscape of this 1963 survey, where the international border meets the Kootenai National Forest. The map documents the border crossing at Roosville, marked by US Customs and the Roosville Sch, just south of the Canadian line. Further south, the settlement of Eureka serves as a local hub, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad and the Tobacco River. The layout of the region reveals a reliance on water and rail, with several small lakes like Sophie Lake and Tetrault Lake dotting the plains near the tracks. Significant local history is captured through the locations of the Eureka Cem and the Iowa Flats Sch, providing a detailed view of the community's rural infrastructure before modern expansions. The terrain is a mix of flat plains and rising peaks, anchored by Ksanka Peak to the east.
