2011 Map of Deary

About this map

Deary serves as the central hub of this Latah County landscape, situated at the junction of several regional routes and surrounded by the rising terrain of Mica Mountain and Potato Hill. The map reveals a settlement pattern tied closely to the meadowlands and creek drainages, with Avon and Vassar located to the northwest near the winding course of Big Bear Creek. Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of several local burial grounds, including Pine Crest Cemetery just west of Deary and Zion Cemetery along Mount Deary Creek. The southern portion of the quadrangle transitions into the drainage basin of the Potlatch River, where timber and agricultural access is maintained via a network of forest roads and trails like the Brush Creek Trail 288. High-elevation features such as Wet Meadows and Smith Meadows illustrate the natural hydrology that has historically supported the region's ranching and logging character.
