2011 Map of Harvard

About this map

Harvard sits along the Palouse River in a landscape defined by its mining heritage and timbered reaches. This survey documents the intersection of industrial history and the natural watershed, notably featuring the Gold Bug Mine and Gold Hill Mine in the western hills, alongside the Bonami Number 1 Mine to the east. The terrain is marked by distinctive family-named and topographic landmarks, from Moon Hill and Mount Margaret to the broad drainage of Quartz Creek. Local history is anchored at the Woodfell Cemetery north of the river, while recreation is represented by Camp Grizzly near the banks of the Palouse. The map's detailed road network, including Old River Rd and Last Chance Rd, traces the routes that once connected these high-country meadows and mining claims, offering a precise view of the region's early 21st-century footprint.
