About this map

Tekoa serves as the primary hub of this 1960s landscape, positioned where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and Union Pacific railroads intersect. The town's layout is meticulously detailed, showing residential blocks and specialized infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal plant. To the south, the rail lines diverge toward the smaller settlement of Seltice along Willow Creek. The terrain is defined by the significant rise of Tekoa Mountain to the north and Liberty Butte to the southeast.

A complex network of regional boundaries and land use is visible, with the Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation line and the Washington-Idaho state line cutting through the drainage basins of Hangman Creek and its tributaries. Local aviation history is preserved via the Willard Airport near the northern settlement of Willard. Cultural markers include the Goldenrod Cem and the northern reaches of Mary Minerva McCroskey State Park, illustrating the balance of industry, agriculture, and preservation in Whitman County.
