2011 Map of Elberton

About this map

Palouse River and its various tributaries, including Silver Creek and Brush Creek, define the agricultural landscape of this region in Whitman County. The settlement of Elberton sits along the river's bend, while Eden Valley serves as a secondary focal point to the south. The rural road network is heavily influenced by family names and land ownership, with routes like Omer Brown Rd, Draper Brown Rd, and Stueckle Rd providing access to the rolling wheat country of the Palouse. This 2011 survey documents the location of important genealogical sites such as Garfield Cemetery and Eden Valley Cemetery, as well as distinctive terrain features like Turnbow Flat in the eastern portion of the quadrangle.
