2010 Map of Tensed

About this map

Tensed and De Smet anchor this rural landscape in Benewah County, where the topography transitions from the agricultural flats of King Valley to the more prominent elevations of ukwle' Mountain and Iron Mountain. The drainage pattern is defined by several converging watercourses, including Hangman Creek, Lolo Creek, and Moctileme Creek, which carve through the terrain. Cultural and natural landmarks such as Chaats'alalqs Grove and Ni lukhwalqw Gap reflect the unique heritage of the region. The road network, including the historically named Mail Route Rd and Old Tensed Rd, suggests a long-standing system of rural transport and mail delivery connecting these small communities at the start of the 21st century.
