1968 Map of Tweedie

About this map

The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad forms a diagonal spine through this territory during the late 1960s, linking the small community of Tweedie to the broader regional rail network. The landscape is defined by the broad floor of Spring Valley, where Spring Valley Creek and Elmer Creek converge. Local life is anchored by the Spring Valley Ch, while the southern reaches of the map transition into the more elevated, protected lands of Mt Spokane State Park and the Kaniks National Forest. The presence of several gravel pits and a well near the Washington Idaho state line suggests a rural economy tied to the land's natural resources. In the southeast corner, the settlement of Blanchard sits at the intersection of Blanchard Road and the railroad, serving as a gateway for travelers entering the scenic Blanchard Creek drainage.
