2024 Map of Copeland

About this map

The Kootenai River snakes through the deep valley floor of the Purcell Trench, a striking geographic corridor bounded by the rising slopes of the Purcell Mountains and the Kaniksu National Forest. In this northern panhandle landscape, the river’s complex meanders create distinctive oxbow features like Kerr Lake and several unnamed sloughs. The settlement of Porthill anchors the northern boundary near the international border, while the community of Copeland serves as a local hub further south, where the Copeland Cem overlooks the valley from the foothills.
