2023 Map of Tweedie

About this map

Tweedie and the surrounding borderlands of Pend Oreille County sit at a convergence of topographic transitions between Washington and Idaho. The settlement pattern follows a series of distinct valleys, with Spring Valley housing the Spring Valley Mennonite church and an adjacent Cem, reflecting the local importance of these community anchors. In the south, Blanchard and Blanchard Valley occupy the northern reaches of Spirit Valley, where the terrain begins to transition toward the Spokane County line. The landscape is defined by its drainages, including Elmer Creek, McDonald Creek, and Ross Creek, which carve through the elevations between Scotia Valley and the state boundary. Numerous named local roads like Elmers Loop Rd and School House Rd suggest a long-standing rural network connecting these small valley communities.
