1966 Map of College Place

About this map

College Place and the surrounding agricultural valleys of southeastern Washington are captured in detail during the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Walla Walla River and Mill Creek, where extensive irrigation networks like the Ditch and Yellowhawk Creek support the region's productive farmlands. Cultural and educational institutions are central to the community, notably Walla Walla College and the Walla Walla Valley Academy. The map highlights the intersection of transportation and history, showing the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific rail lines serving grain elevators at Sudbury and Whitman.
