2020 Map of Harvard

About this map

The Palouse River winds through this northern Idaho landscape, anchoring a region defined by the timbered slopes and drainages of the St. Joe National Forest. Near the settlement of Harvard, the geography is marked by numerous gulches and hills, such as Heath Gulch and Moon Hill. The map detail reveals a network of Forest Service roads and off-highway vehicle trails, including the Palouse - Ohv - Ruby Cr and Palouse Ohv - Potlatch Connect, which reflect the area's modern usage for recreation and resource management. Higher elevations are characterized by distinctive peaks and ridges like Flynn Butte and the curiously named Strychnine Ridge. Genealogists and local historians will find the Woodfell Cem near Meadow Cr, while the presence of named clearings like Smith Meadows and Macumber Meadows points to the early ranching and agricultural openings within the dense forest.
