1966 Map of Buroker

About this map

Sapolil and Buroker anchor the northern reaches of this mid-1960s landscape, where the grain-driven economy of the Walla Walla Valley is evident in the Grain Elevator sites along the Northern Pacific railroad. The map documents a critical transition from the agricultural lowlands into the rising foothills of the Blue Mountains, marked by drainage systems like Mill Creek and Dry Creek. Historical land tenure is unusually prominent here, with the Titus Boundary and several Donation Land Claim Boundary lines preserved in the survey, providing a direct link to early Pacific Northwest settlement patterns.
