2023 Map of Colfax North

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Colfax serves as the focal point of this Whitman County landscape, situated at the confluence where the South Fork Palouse River meets the main Palouse River channel. The map details the transition from the concentrated civic life of the county seat, home to the Whitman County Courthouse and Colfax Cemetery, to the surrounding agricultural uplands. Northward, the small settlements of Steptoe and Glenwood punctuate a terrain defined by deep drainages like Buck Canyon and the winding course of Dry Creek. The network of section-line roads, such as Hilty Road and Mullen Road, underscores the enduring grid of the Palouse hills. This modern survey reflects the continuity of these rural communities, where the road names often reflect local lineage and the natural hydrology dictates the placement of settlements and transport corridors in this grain-growing region.
