2024 Map of Meadow Creek

About this map

The Moyie River carves a deep valley through the rugged northern panhandle, serving as the central corridor for this mountain landscape. In the heart of the Kaniksu National Forest, the small settlements of Meadow Creek and Eileen sit along the riverbanks, illustrating the historical reliance on narrow valley floors for transport and habitation. The surrounding terrain is defined by the massive shoulders of the Purcell Mountains and the Dawson Ridge, with elevations rising sharply to Bussard Mountain and Wall Mtn. This modern survey reveals a complex network of forest access routes like Deer Ridge Rd and hiking paths such as the Wall Creek Trl, which navigate the steep drainages of Rutledge Creek and McDougal Creek. The map provides a clear view of the interface between wilderness topography and the limited human footprint in this remote region of Boundary County.
