About this map

Whitman Mission National Historic Site sits at the heart of this landscape, marking a pivotal location in the history of the Oregon Trail and the Walla Walla Valley. The terrain transitions from the rolling agricultural hills of Sudbury and Pedigo in the north toward the denser urban planning of College Place and the western edge of Walla Walla. This area is defined by an intricate network of water management, where the Walla Walla River and Mill Cr are augmented by historical irrigation features like the Burlingame Ditch and Whitman Ditch.

Educational and community landmarks are prominent, notably the Walla Walla Univ campus and local airfields like Martin Field. Smaller rural settlements such as Mojonnier, Calhounville, and Stateline trace the border between Walla Walla County, Washington and Umatilla County, Oregon. Local history and genealogy are preserved in sites like Valley Chapel Cem and Mount Hope Cem, which serve as quiet anchors for the surrounding farming communities.
