About this map

The railroad junction of Tekoa serves as the hub of this mid-century landscape, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and Union Pacific lines intersect. The terrain is defined by the transition from the rolling Palouse hills to the heights of Tekoa Mountain and the prominent Liberty Butte. Outside of the main town, small settlements like Seltice and Willard are connected by a network of winding creeks, including Hangman Creek and Moctileme Creek.

Evidence of the region's changing infrastructure is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and the presence of the Willard Airport. The eastern portion of the map covers the Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation and reaches the northern edge of Mary Minerva McCroskey State Park. Local history is further grounded by landmarks such as the Goldenrod Cem and several industrial features like the Gravel Pit and Quarry.
