1960 Map of Moscow Mtn

About this map

The Palouse Range dominates this northern Idaho landscape, anchored by the prominent summit of Moscow Mtn. Photographed in 1957 and field-checked in 1960, this survey captures a high-elevation environment of steep ridges and deep drainages, including the headwaters of Big Meadow Creek and Hatter Creek. Local infrastructure is concentrated along the periphery of the mountain's heavy forest cover, featuring the Village of Troy Reservoir and the East Moscow Lookout positioned for fire surveillance. To the south, the terrain transitions into the more level reaches of Randall Flat, where the Beulah Cem serves as a quiet marker of early area settlement. The map illustrates a network of trails and jeep paths crossing through Browns Meadow and up to the Moscow Mtn Picnic Area, reflecting the area's dual role for utility and recreation.
