About this map

Bonners Ferry serves as the focal point of this Boundary County landscape, situated where the Kootenai River winds through the prominent Purcell Trench. The town’s role as a regional seat is anchored by the Boundary County Courthouse, while its connection to wider trade is maintained by the Union Pacific RR line which skirts the western edge of the valley. To the south, the terrain opens into Paradise Valley, a notable pocket of activity marked by its own Paradise Valley Cem.

The survey captures the area's agricultural and rural character, with smaller settlements like North Bench, Schnoors, and Threemile Corner scattered across the flats and foothills. Local history is traced through several burial grounds including Grandview Cem and the Mennonite Cem to the north. Surrounding these lowland developments are the rising slopes of the Kaniksu National Forest, illustrating the sharp transition from the river valley floor to the dense Idaho highlands.
