Shoshone County by land and water

The Census records 5.39 square miles of water within Shoshone County, or 0.2% of its total area. That share is close to Shoshone County’s 0.2%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Shoshone County has 2,904.7 times the land area of nearby Wallace city (0.91 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

The Census boundary meets Benewah County, Bonner County, Clearwater County, Kootenai County, Latah County within Idaho. A tract near one of these lines should be matched to the county identifier on its own records.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Shoshone County land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Locate the parcel within Shoshone County

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in Shoshone County. The county includes 8 listed community geographies; a nearby community name does not prove the parcel is inside its limits.

02

Read the St. Joe Schist-Gneiss Zone setting

St. Joe Schist-Gneiss Zone belongs to Northern Rockies. How does the road approach cross the mountain terrain, and what do existing maps show about slope and stream crossings?

03

Check the route, beyond Wallace

Wallace is 8.9 miles north of the Shoshone County reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Shoshone County. Shoshone County’s 2,637.4 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Does St. Joe Schist-Gneiss Zone describe all of Shoshone County?+

The county’s mapped footprint intersects 3 regional units; St. Joe Schist-Gneiss Zone is the largest mapped share. County-scale information cannot establish the soil, slope, drainage, or development potential of one tract.

Can I use Wallace as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 8.9 miles north of Shoshone County’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Shoshone County?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners.
