About this map

Kaniksu National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Boundary County, where the Moyie River carves a deep valley corridor. The small settlement of Eileen sits along the river's edge, positioned near a strategic Gaging Station and the Spokane International railroad line. This rail connection provided a vital link through the Panhandle's timber and mountain terrain, following the natural course of the water.

Upland from the river valley, the topography rises sharply toward Queen Mtn and Wall Mountain. The map documents a network of primitive access routes, including the Meadow Creek Road and various pack trails that weave through drainages like McDougal Creek and Skin Creek. To the southwest, Dawson Lake lies tucked beneath Dawson Ridge, offering a glimpse into the localized recreation and water management patterns of the mid-1960s.
