2017 Map of Bowlus Hill

About this map

The eastern edge of Milton-Freewater transitions into the rugged drainage systems of the Blue Mountains, where the Walla Walla River and its North and South forks carve deep canyons into the landscape. This 2017 survey details the complex agricultural and water-management networks of the Walla Walla Valley, featuring infrastructure like the Dorothy Ditch and family-named crossings such as Joe West Bridge and Dorothy Bridge. The terrain is defined by prominent rises like Bowlus Hill and Blalock Mtn, interspersed with named hollows including Pumpkin Hollow and Cash Hollow. For those researching local heritage, the inclusion of Bowlus Cem and the extensive system of rural roads, such as Government Mountain Rd and Whiteman Rd, provides a clear view of the land-use patterns and residential distribution outside the main town center during the early 21st century.
