2011 Map of Thompson Falls

About this map

Thompson Falls sits as the primary hub along the Clark Fork, where the river’s power is harnessed by the Thompson Falls Dam. The town layout in this early 21st-century record shows a concentration of civic and social life, evidenced by the Thompson Falls Post Office and multiple fire stations. To the east, three distinct burial grounds—Wild Rose Cemetery, VFW Cemetery, and Fraternal Cemetery—provide a localized genealogical record. The river remains the central geographic feature, widening into the Thompson Falls Reservoir and hosting unique transportation infrastructure like the Daves Landing Seaplane Base and the Main Channel Bridge. South of the river, the terrain rises toward Clark Mountain and Elk Point, where the landscape transitions from the river-level community to the more remote Gold Rush Gulch and its associated Gold Rush Campground. Near the eastern bend, the settlement of Woodlin and the Thompson Falls Airport reflect the area’s continued development.
