About this map

The city of College Place anchors this portion of Walla Walla County, showing a landscape shaped by both educational institutions and a sophisticated network of irrigation. The presence of Whitman and landmarks like the Tausick Swimming Pool and Martin Field highlights the area's development. Beyond the city center, the map traces the intricate water management system essential to the region's agriculture, featuring the Whitman Ditch and the Burlingame Ditch alongside natural waterways such as Mill Creek and the Walla Walla River.

Smaller settlements and rural junctions like Garrett, Mojonnier, and Dixie Crossing illustrate the historical settlement patterns outside the main hub. Genealogists may find value in the locations of Mount Hope Cemetery and Valley Chapel Cemetery. The terrain transitions from the developed streets of College Place to the rural reaches near the Blue Mountain Boys Ranch, where creeks like Mud Creek and Dry Creek wind through the northern territory toward the Oregon border.
