2013 Map of Burr Canyon

About this map

Burr Canyon and the surrounding high plateau of Franklin County are defined by sharp coulees and a grid of rural access roads in this 2013 survey. The topography is dominated by the dramatic descent of Old Maid Coulee in the north and the deep incision of its namesake canyon in the southeast. These geological features slice through the agricultural landscape, creating a distinct contrast between the flat upland fields and the steep, channeled drainage systems that characterize this portion of the Palouse region.
