This photograph was recently donated to the Museum by the Harold Stephenson estate. It was taken by Edgar Stephenson, The Valley Studio.
It is a wonderful aerial view of the Cow Creek area looking northeast. Note the “Y” in the Cow Creek Road on the left side of the photo. The road to Crossport runs along the Kootenai River. The diked road across the field near the old town site of Crossport can be seen on the right side of the photo.
The area south of the Kootenai River is now known as Drainage District #15, however most of the land was originally owned by the Fitzpatrick and the Desmond families.
