2017 Map of Burr Canyon

About this map

Old Maid Coulee and Dunnigan Coulee define the drainage patterns of this Franklin County landscape, where the high basalt plateaus of Eastern Washington meet the winding road network of the Palouse. The settlement at Burr Canyon sits at the terminus of Burr Canyon Rd in the southeastern corner, connected to the wider region by the prominent Pasco Kahlotus Road. This 2017 survey illustrates a specialized agricultural and transport grid, with family-named routes such as Bauermeister Rd, Hoffman Rd, and Largent Rd providing access to expansive farm sections. The map reveals the intricate contouring of the coulee systems, which are essential for understanding the local hydrography and soil conservation practices in this semi-arid region.
