About this map

Deary serves as a central hub in this Latah County landscape, where the confluence of several local roads like Montana St and Main St marks the town’s development. The surrounding terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises and ridges, most notably Potato Hill, Benson Hill, and Texas Ridge. These elevations overlook a complex system of meadows and creek beds, including Vassar Meadows and Smith Meadows, which historically supported the region's agricultural and timber interests.

Genealogists will find several significant burial sites across the quadrangle, including Pine Crest Cem near the main settlement, Zion Cem to the southwest, and Dry Creek Cem further south. The southern edge of the map is clipped by the Potlatch River, illustrating the varied drainage patterns that flow from the northern hills down toward the river valley. Smaller settlements like Avon and Vassar appear as established points along the older transit corridors such as Old Hwy 8.
