1997 Map of Libby

About this map

The town of Libby sits along the southern bank of the Kootenai River in this late 1990s survey, serving as a hub for the surrounding Kootenai National Forest. The map detail reveals the community's civic infrastructure, from schools like Plummer Sch, Libby High School, and Asa Wood Jr HS to the Forest Supervisors Headquarters. To the north and east, the landscape is defined by the steep elevation of Bobtail Ridge, Lindy Peak, and Sheldon Mountain, while the river valley floor accommodates various Gravel Pits and a Mobile Home Park near the mouth of Bobtail Creek. Local recreation and service features are carefully noted, including Pioneer Park, the Drive-in Theater west of town, and an extensive network of creeks like Libby Creek and Flower Creek that converge near the settlement. The inclusion of the Bobtail Cutoff and several 4wd trails indicates the rugged timber and mining access routes typical of this Montana mountain corridor.
