2014 Map of Tweedie

About this map

Blanchard and the adjacent Blanchard Valley sit at the southern edge of this multi-county borderland where Washington meets Idaho. The terrain transitions from the low-lying wetlands of Lake San Souci and Blanchard Creek toward the elevation of Spring Valley. Further north, the settlement of Tweedie marks a central crossroads along the state line, connected by Tweedie Road. This 2014 survey reveals a landscape defined by its jurisdictional complexity, where the boundaries of Pend Oreille, Spokane, and Bonner counties converge. The drainage patterns of McDonald Creek and Elmer Creek shape the rural topography, while family and local names such as Bensons Spur and Trask Pond indicate the historical pockets of activity that persist in this timber and valley region.
