1963 Map of Joseph

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Joseph sits atop a high, dissected plateau in Idaho County, where the landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the Joseph Plains and the deep drainage of Gibbons Creek. This 1963 survey captures a quiet, pastoral era for the region, characterized by family-named landmarks and the livestock-driven economy of the Dou Mecq Plains. The map reveals the intricate network of ridges and flats that dictated movement and settlement, including Abercrombie Ridge and Twogood Flat. Local history and genealogy are anchored at the Joseph Cem, while names like Mollie Point and Rose Lewis Point hint at the early homesteaders who navigated the terrain. The presence of a Gravel Pit and numerous water sources like Seven Springs and Lyda Spring underscore the practical infrastructure of this high-country community before modern development changed its character.
