About this map

Moyie Springs sits at a strategic river junction where the Moyie River meets the Kootenai River. This mid-1960s landscape is defined by its industrial and transport infrastructure, featuring a powerplant near Moyie Falls and a network of competing rail lines. The Spokane International and the Great Northern railroads dominate the valley floor, connecting small settlements like Crossport and Katka to the broader regional economy.

Beyond the river valleys, the terrain rises into the Kaniksu National Forest, marked by the elevations of Two Tail Peak and Katka Peak. Local life is anchored by landmarks such as the Sheridan School and Evergreen Sch, while numerous gravel and borrow pits suggest ongoing road and rail maintenance. The northern border follows the International Road, reflecting the area's proximity to the Canadian border.
