1964 Map of Uniontown

About this map

Uniontown and Colton anchor this mid-1960s survey of the Palouse region, where the Northern Pacific railroad tracks wind through a landscape defined by rolling agricultural plateaus. The topography is marked by distinctive level areas such as Union Flat and Leon Flat, which provided the foundational terrain for local farming and early development. The map details the community infrastructure of the era, including the St Boniface Sch and nearby Cem in Uniontown, while the outlying landscape is dotted with rural landmarks like the Thorn Creek Ranch. Several watercourses, including Thorn Creek, Little Thorn Creek, and Cow Creek, carve through the hills. This document effectively captures the rural character of the Washington-Idaho borderlands before significant modern expansion, highlighting the economic reliance on the rail line and local resources like the various Gravel Pits scattered across the quadrangle.
