About this map

The Palouse Range dominates this 1960s landscape, rising sharply above the headwaters of several critical Idaho drainages. At the heart of the range, Paradise Point and the twin peaks of West Twin and East Twin provide a topographic anchor for the region, with the former hosting Radio Relay Stations and a Lookout. The technical infrastructure of the early 1960s is further represented by several Tower sites and a Gaging Sta situated along the lower creeks.

Water management and natural resources define the lower elevations, where the South Fork Palouse River flows near Robinson Lake. The presence of the White Cross Mine on the southern slopes of the range points to the area's mineral interests, while a network of named streams including Missouri Creek, Crumrine Creek, and Gnat Creek carve through the foothills. The survey reveals a landscape balanced between high-altitude surveillance points and the agricultural and mining potential of the Latah County valleys.
