2013 Map of Plummer

About this map

Plummer serves as the primary hub for this region of North Idaho, where the residential street grid of the town site transitions into the complex drainage systems of the Palouse and Coeur d'Alene highlands. The landscape is defined by its deep topographical relief, including the prominent McCartney Butte and Minkler Mtn to the north, while the Rock Creek Valley and Lovell Valley provide more level ground for travel and settlement. Historic infrastructure is evident in the Sorrento Tunnel and the placement of the Evergreen Cem west of town. The map also records cultural and recreational landmarks like the Khwele' Grounds and the Chief Moc-Tel-Me Rest Area along the main highway corridor. To the west, the smaller settlement area of Mowry sits near the headwaters of Little Hangman Cr, illustrating the dispersed development typical of Benewah County's upland valleys.
