2013 Map of Diamond

About this map

The Palouse River and its meandering tributaries carve through the rolling agricultural landscape of Whitman County, defining the settlement patterns of the early 21st century. This region is characterized by small unincorporated communities and named locales such as Diamond, Manning, and Harpole, which serve as waypoints along the drainage of Rebel Flat Cr. The map reveals a deeply personal geography where rural infrastructure is inextricably linked to local families, evidenced by roads like Frank Feenan Rd, Gene Feenan Rd, and L Anderson Rd. The southern edge of the survey transitions toward the larger hub of Colfax, while more secluded sites like Mockonema and the Stipe Cem provide crucial points of interest for genealogists and local historians. This network of backroads and watercourses like Dry Cr and Frog Cr illustrates the enduring rural character of the Washington Palouse.
