1960 Map of Troy

About this map

Troy serves as the primary hub in this 1960 survey of Latah County, Idaho, situated where the Northern Pacific railroad winds through the Palouse hills. The landscape is defined by elevated terrain such as American Ridge and Driscoll Ridge, which overlook the deeply incised drainages of Middle Potlatch Creek and the West Fork Little Bear Creek. Small railroad-adjacent settlements like Howell, Joel, and Cornwall provide a view into the mid-century rural infrastructure of the region, supported by landmarks like the Aspendale Community Hall. The map reveals the intricate relationship between the rail corridor and the plateau topography, showing various Gravel Pits and geographic features like Dutch Flat that shaped local industry and transit during this era.
