Mayor Randy Kappes Midway is a picturesque and inviting community that is located halfway between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Ideally situated in a beautiful sunny valley with the historic Kettle River running through it, it provides plenty of natural resources. These same qualities bring visitors from all over the world to experience our wilderness recreation. Our nat- ural environment makes for some of the best skiing, cross country hiking and biking trails, as well as a spectacular golf course. The Village of Midway’s RV and camping park boasts a beautiful scenic and peaceful riverfront view, and if you need to unwind, why not go tubing or take a relaxing canoe ride down the river? Midway’s two annual festivals, Kettle River Days and the Blue Grass Festi- val, are well known, so whether you’re looking for a place to spend a few fun-filled and adventurous days or looking for a wonderful community to call home, or perhaps open a new business, visit Midway in the heart of the Kettle Valley. www.midwaybc.ca Boundary2010.indd 5 5/31/10 5:02:08 PM Greenwood British Columbia A RICH HISTORY, A LIVING LEGACY We invite you to visit our community to explore the beautiful natural surroundings, the unique historical sites, and to experience our “Small Town” friendliness.

WALKER, Deputy Minister MINING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA An Outline of the Development of the Industry VICTORIA, B.C. Primed by DON MCDIAHMID, Printer to the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty 1954 This pamphlet deals principally with the history of mining activity in British Columbia to the end of the year 1953. The written account is supplemented by a selection of photographs. MINING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA It is a curious fact that, although what is now British Columbia possessed a vast wealth of visible resources, little attention was paid to them in the eighty years following Captain Cook's visit to the west coast of Vancouver Island in 1778. Such interest as was aroused was mainly in furs. It was interest in fur that led John Meares to establish his short-lived post at Nootka, and interest in fur that spurred Alexander Mackenzie, Simon Fraser, and David Thompson to undertake their arduous expeditions into British Colum• bia from the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains. In the period from 1805 to 1849 fifteen posts were established along the routes of the fur brigades, and here and there the Oblate Fathers had planted churches among the tribes.

It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial, gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8. Canada ABSTRACT « Traditionally, international boundaries have been re• garded as barriers to the evolution of transportation networks. Numerous examples of the disruptive influence of borders on travel routes have been documented in the literature. Does such a pattern always occur? This thesis is concerned with a railnet which evolved in close proximity to an international boundary, but which for the most part appeared able to develop with little regard for the boundary as a barrier. This railnet is that of the Kootenay district of south• eastern British Columbia and the adjacent United States. An investigation is made of the major elements which best explain the nature of this network's evolution. They are discovered to include a rich natural resource endowment, rivalry between rail• way companies, and private and government decision makers, but not the international boundary.

  • Dewdney Trail Hope to Wild Horse Creek, B.C
    Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Statements of Significance for Provincial Historic Place Sites and railsT 18 March 2016 Dewdney Trail Hope to Wild Horse Creek, B.C. 6 1860 to Princeton 1861 to Rock Creek 1865 to Wild Horse Creek Historic Place The Dewdney Trail is a 720 kilometre trail that traverses the Province of British Columbia near the American border between the present-day locations of Hope on the Fraser River and Wild Horse Creek at Fisherville just north of Ft. Steele in the East Kootenays. It crosses the Cascade, Monashee, Selkirk and Purcell mountain ranges, and connects the coastal Fraser and Skagit valleys with the Interior Similkameen, Okanagan, Kettle, Columbia, Pend d’Oreille, Salmon, Moyie, and Kootenay River valleys, which are all part of the Columbia River watershed. While most of the trail was constructed as a mule path with a four foot wide minimum clearance and two foot wide surface, the western-most 40 kilometres of the trail was built as a wagon road with a much firmer and wider trail surface.
