2014 Map of Bossburg

About this map

The Kettle River winds through the western edge of this Stevens County landscape, where the settlement of Barstow sits near the Barstow Bridge. Further south along the banks of the Franklin D Roosevelt Lake, the town of Bossburg is situated below the prominent rise of Spion Kop. This area is defined by the significant footprint of the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, which follows the shoreline of the impounded Columbia River. The interior terrain is a network of ridges and drainages including Jumbo Mtn and Sackit Canyon, interspersed with small water bodies like Dilly Lake and Perkins Lake. Historical land use is suggested by the distribution of family-named roads such as Rettinger Rd and Gallaher Rd, which connect the upland flats of Kelly Hill to the river corridor.
