About this map

The Kootenai River winds through this valley corridor, defining the transport and settlement patterns of the northern panhandle. The area is marked by a series of rail spurs and access points like Houcks Spur, KV Farm Spur, and Edwards Spur, which served the local agricultural and timber economy. The community of Copeland sits near the river banks, supported by the Copeland Ferry and anchored by the Copeland Cemetery.

Upland from the river flats, the geography shifts toward extraction and higher terrain. To the north, Stein Mountain towers over the landscape, while industrial history is evidenced by the Golen Scepter Mine and Montgomery Mine. The intricate network of local routes, including the Farm to Market Rd and West Side Rd, illustrates how residents navigated this river-dominated terrain between the settlements of Porthill and Copeland.
