About this map

Laurier sits at the northern edge of this terrain, positioned where the Kettle River loops south across the border. The settlement is anchored by the Laurier Cem and the adjacent Avey Field, reflecting the clustered development characteristic of this mountain valley corridor. South of town, the landscape transitions into the heavily timbered reaches of the Colville National Forest, where the topography is defined by prominent peaks like Summit Mtn and First Thought Mtn.

Resource extraction and backcountry access define the area's movement, with Churchill Mine located in the high ground and the small settlement of Goldstake situated along the drainage of Little Boulder Creek. A network of forest roads and trails, including the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trl, connects numerous high-altitude water bodies such as Taylor Lake and Pierre Lake, tracing a path through the steep drainages of the Stevens and Ferry county line.
