1975 Map of Moscow East

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The city of Moscow anchors the northwestern corner of this orthophotoquad, transitioning from a dense grid of urban streets into the productive agricultural landscape of the Palouse. Prepared from 1975 aerial photography, the imagery provides an overhead view of the land's rhythmic patterns of cultivation and drainage, showing the interface between developing town limits and the surrounding wheat and pea country. The South Fork Palouse River winds through the northern half of the sheet, serving as a primary drainage corridor for the rolling hills. Smaller rural settlements such as Joel and Blaine appear as modest clusters of structures along regional transit routes, while Tomer Butte stands out as a prominent high point in the central terrain. This document captures the physical layout of Latah County just before the rapid suburban expansion of the late 1970s, making it a valuable tool for tracking land use and the growth of the university town.
