2020 Map of Buroker

About this map

The Walla Walla Valley serves as the backdrop for this study of the agricultural and rural landscape northeast of the city. Small named settlements like Sapolil, Buroker, and Kibler are linked by a complex network of county roads that trace the natural contours of the undulating terrain. The drainage systems of Mill Cr and its tributaries, including Titus Cr and Blue Cr, define the movement through the valley, while higher elevations to the southeast are marked by Nightingale Canyon and Little Bear Ridge Rd. Notable landmarks such as Wickersham Bridge and Darcy's Air Strip highlight the varied uses of the land. This survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where family-named roads like Smith Rd and Mc Kay Grade Rd indicate a deep-rooted history of settlement and land ownership in Walla Walla County.
