2020 Map of Harsha

About this map

The Touchet River meanders through the southern half of this landscape, carving the fertile Touchet Valley amidst the high, undulating terrain of Walla Walla County. The small settlements of Harsha and Paddock serve as historical anchors for this agricultural region, where the upland reaches of Eureka Flat and the depressions of Dry Hollow define the local topography. This 2020 survey illustrates a complex network of rural infrastructure, including Grant Sanders Rd and Lyons Ferry Rd, which follow the natural contours of the canyons and ridges. Local genealogists and historians can trace family-named thoroughfares such as Pettyjohn Rd, Harvey Shaw Rd, and Donnelly Rd, which speak to the long-standing landownership patterns in this corner of Washington. The map also documents geographic features like Winnett Canyon, providing a clear view of the drainage patterns and land use within the T9N and T10N townships.
