2024 Map of Bovill

About this map

The Potlatch River and its numerous tributaries, including the East Fork Potlatch River and Little Boulder Creek, carve through this section of Latah County, defining a landscape dominated by extensive meadowlands and forest. The settlement of Bovill serves as a primary hub in the northeast, where the Potlatch River meets Moose Creek. To the west, the smaller community of Helmer sits at the junction of Forks Rd and Helmer Ln, surrounded by high-elevation clearings such as Shea Meadows, Bronson Meadow, and Tee Meadow. This area highlights the transition from river valleys to upland meadows, with the Corral Creek Airport providing a distinct landing point south of Helmer. Genealogists may find interest in the Bovill Cem, located just west of the Bovill townsite, while the intricate network of forest roads, such as Palouse Divide Rd, suggests a long history of timber management and resource access throughout the drainage basins.
