2020 Map of Bonners Ferry

About this map

Bonners Ferry serves as the focal point of this North Idaho landscape, situated along a pronounced bend of the Kootenai River. The town's grid is anchored by the Boundary County Courthouse and radiates outward toward the riverbanks and O'Callaghans Island. To the north, the terrain climbs toward North Bench and Threemile Corner, while the western edge is defined by the elevation of Mission Hill. The mapping of small settlements like Allens Spur and Schnoors reveals the historical distribution of activity along the river valley floor before the land rises sharply into the Cabinet Mountains and the protected timberlands of the Kaniksu National Forest. This 2020 data captures a modern perspective on a long-inhabited valley, where land use transitions from the municipal center of the county seat to the sprawling agricultural reaches of Paradise Valley. Notable for genealogists are the three distinct burial grounds: Grandview Cem, Paradise Valley Cem, and Moravia Cem.
