About this map

Genesee sits at the heart of this Idaho landscape, where the plateau terrain is deeply etched by watercourses like Cow Cr and Union Flat Cr. The settlement pattern reflects a stable agricultural community defined by its road network and religious heritage. The presence of Saint Johns Lutheran Cem and Genesee Valley Lutheran Cem serves as a vital point of reference for family historians and genealogists researching the Palouse region's local roots.

Transportation is dominated by the corridor of Old Hwy 95, which connects the town to surrounding areas via routes such as Genesee-Troy Rd and Genesee-Juliaetta Rd. The map reveals the intricate drainage system of the area, including Hatwai Cr and McGuire Cr, showing how the topography transitions across the Latah Co Nez Perce Co boundary. Numerous family-named roads like Neyens Rd and Danielsen Rd provide further clues to the land ownership history of the district.
