About this map

Union Flat Creek and its many tributaries, including Wilbur Creek and Spring Flat Creek, carve through the rolling agricultural landscape of Whitman County on this 2013 survey. The area is defined by its deep canyons, such as MacMurry Canyon, Buck Canyon, and Wawawai Canyon, which create a complex drainage system flowing toward the snake river basin.

Settlement patterns are represented by the communities of Union Center and Ewartsville, connected by a network of rural roads that often follow the ridgelines or family landholdings. Many of these thoroughfares, such as Kamerrer Rd, La Follett Rd, and Klemgard Rd, bear the names of local families, providing valuable clues for genealogists tracking early settlers. The course of Wa-194 winds through the northern half of the quadrangle, linking these high-plateau farming communities with the broader region.
