2017 Map of Elwood

About this map

Elwood sits at the southern edge of this landscape where the high plateau of Eureka Flat begins its descent toward the winding Snake River. The terrain is defined by deep incisions like Walker Canyon, which cuts through the agricultural uplands toward the river valley to the west. This region along the Walla Walla and Franklin County line is characterized by a network of rural routes, including Wooden Rd and Harsell Rd, that connect isolated farmsteads and agricultural plots. The northwestern corner reveals the river's edge near Sacajawea, a point of historical significance where the topography shifts from high tillable flats to the steep river break. Modern infrastructure is evident through the path of Lower Monumental Rd and Scott Station Rd, which follow the contours of the land to navigate the dramatic elevation changes typical of this part of eastern Washington.
