2024 Map of Setters

About this map

Rockford and Setters anchor this portion of the Idaho-Washington border, where the high plains of Spokane County meet the rising terrain of Kootenai County. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems and prominent summits, notably McGowan Butte, Morefield Butte, and Starr Butte. Watercourses like Rock Creek, Mica Creek, and the North Fork Rock Creek carve through the agricultural and timbered lands, creating a network of valleys that have historically dictated the placement of local thoroughfares. The border between the two states is marked by several crossings, including E Rockford-Idaho Rd, illustrating the close economic and social ties between these neighboring communities. Local history is etched into the landscape through small settlements like Saxby and Coey, as well as a dense grid of named rural roads such as W Missile Base Rd and S Chatcolet Rd that facilitate movement through the varied topography.
