1930 Map of Libby

About this map

Libby and the surrounding river valleys represent a significant hub of extraction and transportation in the early twentieth century. The map illustrates a landscape defined by the Kootenai River and the Clark Fork, where the Great Northern railroad follows the winding canyon floor past Kootenai Falls. Industrial activity is concentrated at high-altitude claims like the Snowstorm Mine and Snowshoe Mine, while isolated settlements and schools such as Old Town and Bull Lake Sch dot the valleys.
