2011 Map of Hooper

About this map

Hooper and the nearby Hooper Junction anchor the southern reaches of this landscape where the Palouse River meets the winding course of Cow Creek. The area is characterized by scattered agricultural operations and ranching history, evidenced by the Bar U Ranch and the Ankeny settlement. Transport and infrastructure are central to the district, with the Gray Ranch Airport and a network of named rural routes like Mullan Rd and Old State Hwy 26 connecting the isolated farmsteads. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological features including Holliday Coulee and several small water bodies such as Lost Lake and Green Lake. This survey captures the quiet, rural character of the eastern Washington plains, documenting the specific intersections of river, rail, and road that have sustained these communities for generations.
