2017 Map of Setters

About this map

Rockford and Setters anchor this 2017 survey of the borderlands between Spokane County, Washington, and Kootenai County, Idaho. The landscape is defined by the high ground of McGowan Butte to the north and Starr Butte to the south, with a drainage network that includes the N Fork Rock Cr and Mica Cr. This area represents a transition between agricultural plateaus and more significant elevation, where the road network follows established township lines and creek beds. Small named locales like Coey and Saxby reflect the historical settlement patterns along the state line. Unique infrastructure is visible in the eastern half of the map, such as W Missile Base Rd, hinting at the Cold War era's defensive installations that once occupied these rural stretches. The geography here is a mix of quiet rural routes like S Harvard Rd and Rockford Idaho Rd that bridge the two states.
