About this map

Blanchard sits at the base of the prominent Hoodoo Mtn, serving as a central point in this Bonner County landscape. The settlement is defined by its proximity to Blanchard Lake and the various drainages that feed into Spirit Valley, including Blanchard Cr and Poirier Cr. To the east, the small community of Coleman marks the transition toward the larger valley floor.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Pine Grove Cem north of the main town site, while topographical features like Melder Draw and Mountain Meadow illustrate the varied elevation of the Idaho panhandle. The map details an extensive network of local connectors such as Hoo Doo Loop Rd and Blanchard Cutoff, which facilitate travel between the high ridges and the agricultural plains of the valley.
