1960 Map of Robinson Lake

About this map

The Palouse Range dominates this landscape, rising to prominent heights at East Twin and West Twin. This 1960 field-checked survey reveals the mid-century infrastructure supporting the region, including Radio Relay Stations situated along the high ridges and a Gaging Sta monitoring the South Fork Palouse River. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Flannigan Creek and Paradise Creek carving through the terrain, while the White Cross Mine serves as a reminder of local mineral exploration. In the south, Robinson Lake is established behind a specified spillway, marking a point of water management and local geography. The map also documents numerous benchmarks and a Rocky Point Lookout, highlighting the area's importance for observation and surveying during the late 1950s.
