2013 Map of College Place

About this map

Whitman Mission National Historic Site sits along the southern bank of the Walla Walla River in this detailed 2013 survey of the border region between Washington and Oregon. The map centers on the growth of College Place, home to Walla Walla Univ, and its proximity to the larger urban area of Walla Walla. The landscape reveals a complex network of irrigation and natural drainage, including the Whitman Ditch, Burlingame Ditch, and Garrison Cr. To the north, the terrain transitions into the agricultural uplands of the Walla Walla Valley, where small rail and road stops like Pedigo and Sudbury mark the transit routes through the hills. This map is particularly valuable for documenting modern land use alongside historical markers like the Mt Hope Cem and the small settlement of Garrett.
