About this map

The Palouse Range dominates this 1960 survey of Latah County, rising sharply above the agricultural lowlands to the south. Moscow Mtn serves as the topographic anchor of the area, featuring the Moscow Mtn Lookout and the Moscow Mtn Picnic Area. The landscape is defined by the transition from forested peaks to the fertile drainage basins of Hatter Creek and Big Meadow Creek. To the south, the terrain levels out into the productive reaches of Randall Flat.

A notable marker of local history is found at the Beulah Cem near the southern edge of the quadrangle. The map also records the infrastructure of the era, such as the Village of Troy Reservoir with its spillway, illustrating the importance of water management for nearby communities. The network of drainage including W Fk Little Bear Cr and Felton Creek highlights the complex hydrology of this part of Idaho.
