About this map

Tekoa Mountain dominates the southern landscape of this 2017 survey, marking a significant high point along the state line where Spokane and Whitman counties meet. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes between several distinct watersheds, including the Rock Creek Valley to the north and the deep drainage of Little Hangman Cr near the southern border. The settlement of Wallner sits at the eastern base of the mountain, positioned along a network of rural routes such as Tekoa-Idaho Rd and Cove Rd that knit together the agricultural highlands.

Local landmarks like Gelbert Mtn and the Idaho Road Bridge provide specific points of reference for those tracing historical land use in this border region. The map captures a complex system of county and state boundaries where Spokane Co and Whitman Co in Washington intersect with Kootenai Co and Benewah Co in Idaho, reflecting the topographical challenges of surveying this varied landscape of ridges and valleys like Lovell Valley.
