1960 Map of Moscow Mountain

About this map

The University of Idaho Experimental Forest dominates this section of the Palouse Range, serving as a massive living laboratory for forestry and resource management during the mid-twentieth century. The terrain is defined by high points like Moscow Mtn and Basalt Hill, with the East Moscow Lookout positioned to monitor the surrounding timberlands. Water management for nearby communities is evident in features such as the Village of Troy Reservoir and Spring Hill Reservoir. Local history is anchored by the Beulah Cem in the southern portion of the sheet near Randall Flat. Numerous drainages, including Hatter Creek and the East Fork Rock Creek, carve through the ridges, while various springs and 4WD tracks suggest the active recreational and utilitarian use of these highlands.
