About this map

The eastern edge of Moscow anchors this 1960 landscape, showing the city's growth toward the foothills of Paradise Ridge. This map reflects the mid-century infrastructure of the Idaho Panhandle, where the Burlington Northern railroad corridors parallel the Palouse River South Fork and Valley Creek. Education and civic life are prominent in the platting, with several local institutions including Russell Sch, St Marys Sch, and the Whitworth Sch clustered near the town center.

Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions into the agricultural and timbered uplands of Latah County. Small outlying communities like Joel and Blaine serve as focal points for rural life, the latter featuring a local Community Hall. Natural landmarks such as Tomer Butte rise above the drainage systems of Little Potlatch Creek and Thorn Creek, while family-history researchers can find several burial grounds including Memorial Gardens Cem and Buchanan Cem.
