1965 Map of Moyie Springs

About this map

Moyie Springs serves as the focal point for this mid-1960s survey, situated at the dramatic confluence of the Moyie River and the Kootenai River. The map reveals a landscape defined by heavy industry and critical transportation corridors, including the Spokane International and Great Northern railroads that parallel the riverbanks. Beyond the industrial presence of a Powerplant and various Borrow Pits, the map documents local civic life through the Sheridan School and Evergreen Sch. The topography rises sharply into the Kaniksu National Forest, where heights like Two Tail Peak overlook a network of pack trails such as the Leonia Trail and Gable Creek Trail. This record is particularly valuable for tracing the hydraulic and rail infrastructure that sustained these northern Idaho settlements during the mid-twentieth century.
