1965 Map of Farnham Peak

About this map

The Kootenai River snakes through the eastern valley of this Idaho panhandle region, defining the transition between low-lying agricultural floodplains and the steep ascent of the Kaniksu National Forest. In the mid-1960s, this landscape supported a mix of timber and agricultural operations, evidenced by Camp 5 and its associated Grain Elevator near the river. High-elevation landmarks like Farnham Peak and Burton Peak anchor the western terrain, where the Myrtle Creek State Game Preserve borders the rugged Russell Ridge. Human infrastructure is concentrated along the West Side Road and the riverbanks, where multiple Pumping Stations and a Gaging Station manage water resources. These details provide a clear picture of the land management and resource extraction patterns in Boundary County during this era.
