2011 Map of Colfax South

About this map

Albion and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of Whitman County are defined by the winding course of the South Fork Palouse River and its numerous tributaries. This survey captures the rural character of the region, where small settlements like Risbeck, Shawnee, and Parvin are linked by a network of country roads including Shawnee Parvin Rd and Albion Rd. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainages such as Spring Flat Creek and Rebel Flat Creek, which carve through the plateau. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies several family-named landmarks and historic burial sites, including Guy Cemetery near Albion and Davis Cemetery to the southwest. The presence of Spring Flat and names like Hamilton Hill Rd and Prune Orchard Rd illustrate the area's long-standing connection to farming and orchard cultivation in this corner of the Palouse.
