2023 Map of Colfax South

About this map

The South Fork Palouse River carves a deep path through the rolling hills of Whitman County, anchoring a landscape defined by its network of watercourses and agricultural settlements. In the northwestern corner, the town of Colfax sits near the river's bend, while smaller rural communities like Spring Flat, Risbeck, and Shawnee are distributed across the upland terrain. These settlements are connected by a dense web of roads often named for local families or destinations, such as Enman-Kincaid Rd and Albion Parvin Rd, reflecting the ingrained history of land ownership and transport in this corner of the Palouse.
