1965 Map of Moravia

About this map

Kootenai River waters define the eastern lowlands of this 1960s Boundary County landscape, where the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge meets the steep rising slopes of the Kaniksu National Forest. The settlement at Moravia serves as a focal point for local history, featuring a Grange Hall situated near the intersection of the Great Northern and Spokane International rail lines. This intersection highlights a period of significant regional transport activity, including the presence of the Deep Creek (Siding) and a Gaging Station further south. To the west, the terrain becomes increasingly complex, marked by distinct landmarks such as Snow Peak, Cascade Ridge, and Kootenai Point. Numerous waterways like Snow Creek and Caribou Creek drain these heights, which are traversed by a Pack Trail and a Jeep Trail, indicating the area's dual character of industrial rail transport and rugged backcountry recreation.
