1963 Map of Rexford

About this map

The Kootenai River snakes through the center of this Lincoln County landscape just south of the international border. The town of Rexford sits near the river's bend, positioned below the Great Northern rail line and an Old Railroad Grade. This mid-century survey captures the river valley before the construction of the Libby Dam, showing a network of islands and flats such as Kins Island, Whites Island, and the Kootenai Flats that would later be altered by the formation of Lake Koocanusa.
