About this map

The University of Idaho campus anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, where the residential streets of Moscow transition into the rolling agricultural fields of the Palouse. This region is defined by its drainage systems, with Paradise Creek and the South Fork Palouse River carving paths through the terrain. To the west, the Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport sits near the state line, serving as a modern transportation hub between these two prominent university towns.

Rural life is marked by smaller named localities like Holland, Garrison, and Sunshine, connected by a network of gravel and paved roads such as Old Pullman Rd. The topography rises significantly toward the south, culminating at Bald Butte. Local history enthusiasts can trace the old school and residential patterns within the city grid, while hydrologists or environmental researchers can follow the intricate courses of Sunshine Creek and Little Thorn Creek as they navigate the hollows and hills.
