About this map

Bossburg sits along the eastern shore of Franklin D Roosevelt Lake in Stevens County, where the modern landscape is defined by the impounded waters of the Columbia River. The terrain rising away from the water is marked by prominent peaks such as Jumbo Mtn and Kelly Hill, intersected by deep drainages like Sackit Canyon. This area within the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area preserves a rugged topography of high ridges and secluded lakes, including Ryan Lake, Perkins Lake, and Dilly Lake.

Local history is anchored by the Pia Mission Cem located west of the main river valley, offering a point of interest for genealogists. The network of rural roads like Pia Mission Rd and Gallaher-Barrett Rd trace the path of earlier settlement and land use. To the south, the confluence of the Kettle River meets the larger reservoir system, highlighting the complex hydrography of the region north of the Columbia's historic bend.
