2024 Map of Princeton

About this map

Princeton and Hampton serve as the primary focal points of this Latah County landscape, situated where the Palouse River winds through the valley floor. The geography is defined by a transition from agricultural river bottoms to the elevated timberlands of the St Joe National Forest. Notable peaks such as Gold Hill and East Gold Hill overlook a network of drainage systems including Hatter Creek, Gold Creek, and Crane Creek. The map documents a dense grid of rural corridors like Hatter Creek Rd and Gold Creek Cutoff Rd, which connect outlying homesteads to the river settlements. To the north and east, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as it rises toward the forest boundary, marked by numerous gulches and canyons such as Picnic Gulch, McCoy Gulch, and Heath Gulch. This data illustrates the modern intersection of logging access, riparian management, and rural Idaho residency.
