About this map

Laurier sits at the international boundary between the United States and Canada, serving as a primary point of entry where US Hwy 395 crosses the border. This mountainous region of the Colville National Forest is defined by the winding course of the Kettle River as it passes through the terrain of both Ferry and Stevens counties. The settlement of Goldstake lies further south along the river, near the Rock Cut Bridge and the geological formation known as Rock Cut.

Outdoor recreation and high-altitude geography dominate the landscape, featuring several prominent peaks like McKinley Mtn, Summit Mtn, and First Thought Mtn. To the east, Pierre Lake and the Pierre Lake Campground offer a localized hub for activity, while the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail traverses the forest. The presence of Avey Field State Airport directly adjacent to the border crossing highlights the unique logistics of this remote northern frontier.
