2013 Map of Princeton

About this map

The Palouse River valley serves as the central corridor for this 2013 Idaho survey, where the settlements of Princeton and Hampton are situated along the path of Id-6. To the north, the terrain rises into the timbered heights of the St Joe National Forest, a landscape marked by steep ridges and deep drainages like Treasure Gulch and Picnic Gulch. This area reflects a legacy of natural resource management and early infrastructure, highlighted by the East Gold Lookout atop E Gold Hill and the presence of Morrissey Siding along the valley floor. The map documents a complex network of forest and rural roads, such as Gold Hill Rd and Crane Creek Rd, which provide access to family-named landmarks and historical gulches like Plowman Gulch and McCoy Gulch, tracing the intersection of mountainous wilderness and valley agriculture.
