About this map

Moyie Springs serves as the focal point of this northern Idaho survey, situated where the Moyie River joins the larger Kootenai River. The landscape is a study in the region's industrial and educational history, showing the working landscape of the Kaniksu National Forest during the mid-1990s. Resource extraction and local infrastructure are well-documented, from the sawmill near the river junction to a Quarry and several gravel pits scattered near the rail lines.

The settlement pattern follows the river valleys and transportation corridors, featuring small communities like Crossport, Vista, and Katka. Educational history is preserved through the locations of the Sheridan School and Evergreen School, while the rugged southern terrain rises sharply toward Two Tail Peak and Katka Ridge. This record captures the area after decades of forest management, including the path of the Thirteenth Standard Parallel North.
