About this map

Moyie Springs and the surrounding river valleys of Boundary County are documented in this 2011 survey, showing a landscape shaped by water and high terrain. The confluence of the Moyie River and the Kootenai River serves as the central geographic focus, where the Moyie Dam and nearby Moyie Falls illustrate the industrial utilization of the area's steep hydraulic gradient. The settlement at Crossport sits along the northern banks of the Kootenai, while the community of Katka is situated further downstream to the southeast.

Transportation corridors follow the natural topography, with Old US Hwy 2 and various district roads connecting these small timber and riverside outposts. To the south, the terrain rises sharply toward Two Tail Peak, Katka Ridge, and Katka Peak, where numerous drainages like Dobson Creek and Katka Creek carve into the mountain slopes. The presence of the Sheridan School in the northwest provides a specific point of interest for local history and genealogical research.
