2020 Map of Honn Lakes

About this map

The Palouse River winds through the southeastern corner of this landscape along the border of Adams and Whitman Counties. The terrain is defined by the scabland geology of the region, featuring a complex network of coulees and seasonal water bodies such as Towell Falls and Rock Creek. The prevalence of small, often ephemeral lakes like Honn Lakes, Winn Lakes, and Deep Lake suggests a rugged environment shaped by glacial flooding, where water management and transport routes were dictated by the deep draws and basalt plateaus.
