About this map

Bovill and the nearby settlement of Helmer anchor this northern Idaho landscape, illustrating the region's intersection of timber, transport, and resource extraction. The map documents an industrial and recreational terrain where the East Fork Potlatch River and Potlatch River converge. Local family names and geography are recorded through features such as Bronson Meadow, Shea Meadows, and Erickson Meadow, while the local economy is evidenced by a series of Tailings, a Clay Pit, and a Quarry.

Logistics and infrastructure are prominent, from the Landing Strip south of town to the remnant Old R.R. Grade following the Ruby Creek drainage. The mapping of the Sewage Lagoon and Moose Creek Reservoir provides specific civic detail from the late 20th century. For those interested in the area's natural recreation, the Little Boulder Creek Campground is situated along the winding southern reaches of Little Boulder Creek.
