1990 Map of Princeton
USGS Topo · Published 1991About this map
Princeton and Hampton serve as the primary residential hubs along the Palouse River in this 1990 survey of Latah County. The landscape is defined by the steep, timbered ridges of the St Joe National Forest, where historical mining activity is evidenced by the Lost Wheelbarrow Mine and Carrico Mine. This area transitions from the rugged forest highlands in the north, including Gold Hill, down toward the agricultural river valley. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with dozens of named watercourses like Hatter Creek, McCoy Creek, and Camas Creek carving deep gulches such as Treasure Gulch and Garden Gulch. These features reflect a late 20th-century balance between natural resource extraction—marked by several Quarry and Gravel Pit sites—and small-town valley life, offering a clear record of the region's topography before more modern development.
