2024 Map of Ritz

About this map

Purcell Trench serves as the dominant geographical corridor in this part of Boundary County, Idaho, where the low-lying valley floor meets the rising slopes of the Purcell Mountains to the east. Small settlements such as Ritz and North Bench anchor the local road network, which is defined by rural routes like Fleming Creek Rd and Kings Row Rd. The eastern portion of the map is largely occupied by the Kaniksu National Forest, a terrain of dense contours and numerous water sources including Templeman Lake, Smith Lake, and Gable Spring. The drainage patterns are clearly visible through the courses of Meadow Creek and its many tributaries. This landscape transition from the open flats of Deer Park to the wooded mountain slopes reflects a region where timber and small-scale agriculture have long shaped the local economy and land use.
