1966 Map of Coppei

About this map

Coppei and the surrounding agricultural valleys are the focus of this mid-1960s landscape, where grain storage and mountain water management reflect the regional economy. The map traces the winding paths of Wilson Creek and Coppei Creek as they cut through the dividing line between Walla Walla and Columbia Counties. Higher elevations are marked by infrastructure like the Radio Tower near Whisky Creek and remote springs such as Coppei Springs. Small-scale agricultural operations are evident through features like Storage Bins and a Storage Bins Grain Elevator, illustrating the post-war development of local wheat farming and transport networks. Local heritage is further preserved through the documentation of the Bundy Hollow Cem and early access routes like Lewis Peak Road and Barns Road.
