1964 Map of Elberton

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Palouse River winds through the heart of Whitman County in this mid-1960s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by deep river bends and the infrastructure of the Pacific Northwest's rail era. The settlement of Elberton is situated along the river's northern banks, served by the Union Pacific line, while the Northern Pacific railroad cuts through the northeastern corner of the quadrangle. This area of eastern Washington shows a pattern of high-plateau farming interrupted by drainage systems like Brush Creek and Silver Creek. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Garfield Cem and Eden Valley Cem, which serve the small communities of Eden Valley and surrounding homesteads. Evidence of early land management remains visible in the numerous benchmarks and bridges, such as BR 2290, that connect the rural road network across the undulating terrain near Turnbow Flat and Silver Springs.
