2013 Map of Harvard

About this map

Harvard sits along the Palouse River in the southwestern corner of this map, serving as a gateway to the wooded slopes of the St. Joe National Forest. The landscape is defined by the drainage network of the river and its many tributaries, including Quartz Cr and Ruby Cr. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Woodfell Cem and the meadows named for early settlers, like Smith Meadows and Macumber Meadows. High points such as Flynn Butte, Moon Hill, and Mt Margaret provide a vertical profile of the Latah County terrain. The presence of Camp Grizzly near Palouse River Rd suggests the area's continued role for recreation and outdoor activity within the national forest system, while roads like Stagecoach Rd and Old River Rd trace the path of historic transport routes through the valley.
