1964 Map of Moscow West

About this map

The western edge of Moscow and the sprawling University of Idaho campus dominate the eastern side of this map, marking a period of expansion where town and gown meet. The landscape is defined by the Whitman County and Latah County line, which also serves as the state border between Washington and Idaho. Infrastructure of the mid-20th century is prominent, including the Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport and a Drive-in Theater situated along the highway. Rail transportation remains a vital backbone for the region, with the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific lines following the path of Paradise Creek. To the south and west, the terrain transitions into the agricultural drainage of the South Fork Palouse River and Stratton Hollow, rising toward the landmark summit of Bald Butte. Small settlements like Sunshine and local landmarks such as a Cemetery and multiple Trailer Parks offer specific points of interest for local history and genealogical research.
