1966 Map of Trout Creek

About this map

Noxon Reservoir dominates this landscape, its waters held at a normal pool elevation of 2331 feet along the Clark Fork river valley. The settlement of Trout Creek serves as a central point for the region's transport and forestry activity, situated where the Burlington Northern railroad tracks parallel the shoreline. To the north and south, the terrain rises into the densely wooded Kaniksu National Forest, marked by numerous drainages such as Vermilion River, Copper Gulch, and White Pine Creek. These drainages and ridges, including White Pine Ridge, define the difficult geography surrounding the valley floor. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is present through Gravel Pits and a Quarry, while the Cabinet Ranger Station and Whitepine Cem provide clear markers of the community's civic and social history in Sanders County.
