Land Use Levels in Boundary County, Idaho

T ERRAIN, climate and soils, and resulting population distribution have produced in Boundary County, Idaho, three distinct levels of land use: mountain, bench, and river flood plain. Mountain areas are largely within the national and state forests, and mining and forestry constitute principal economic activities.

Bisecting Boundary County in a north-south direction is Purcell Trench, a long intermontane depression which divides the county into eastern and western mountainous halves. The
