About this map

Colfax serves as the focal point of this Eastern Washington landscape, situated at the confluence where the Palouse River and S Fork Palouse River meet. This 2013 survey illustrates the northern extent of the city, including the Colfax Cem and residential streets such as N Oak St and Cedar St. The surrounding terrain is defined by the complex drainage systems of Buck Canyon and Dry Cr, which carve through the high plateau.

The map records a network of named rural routes that reflect family landholdings and historical access paths, such as Scholz Rd, Hume Rd, and Elberton Rd. To the north, the small settlement of Steptoe marks the transition toward higher elevations, while the community of Glenwood is positioned near the eastern bend of the river. These features together document the enduring agricultural and residential footprint in Whitman County during the early 21st century.
