2020 Map of Copeland

About this map

The Kootenai River carves a massive, serpentine path through this international border region, defining the lowlands between the Purcell Mountains and the Kaniksu National Forest. In the northern reach, the settlement of Porthill stands at the edge of the valley floor below Stein Mtn, serving as a historic point of transit. Further south, the community of Copeland is situated near the river's bend, where local history is anchored by the Copeland Cem and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem. The landscape transitions from the agricultural river plains to high peaks such as Eneas Peak and Hall Mtn. Significant backcountry access is highlighted by the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, which traverses the high ridges, while a network of rural routes like Farm to Market Rd connects the valley's scattered homesteads and water bodies like Kerr Lake and Bass Lake.
