About this map

The Palouse Range dominates this 1960s study area, where high-elevation landmarks like Moscow Mtn and the Moscow Mtn Lookout overlook a complex network of timbered ridges and creek drainages. The landscape transitions from the sharp elevations of Turnbow Point and Basalt Hill down to the agricultural and utility infrastructure in the valleys, such as the Village of Troy Reservoir on Big Meadow Creek.

Evidence of early rural life and transportation is found in the scattered meadows and clearings, including Browns Meadow and the southern Randall Flat. Local history is anchored by the Beulah Cem in the southeast, while the development of recreational land use is seen at the Moscow Mtn Picnic Area. A system of secondary roads and trails, including Hatter Creek road and several unnamed jeep tracks, provides insight into the mid-century accessibility of these Idaho highlands.
