2023 Map of Hooper Lake

About this map

McGregor Airport and the surrounding rangeland of Whitman County characterize this contemporary survey of the Palouse region. The landscape is defined by deep coulees and seasonal drainages, most notably Alkali Flat Creek and Woods Gulch, which cut through the high plateau. While the area is dominated by agricultural and grazing land, several natural water sources are vital to the local ecology, including Hooper Lake, Clear Lake, and the clustered McGregor Lakes. A network of rural routes such as Hammer Grade Rd and Hooper Canyon Rd provides access across the township lines. Scattered springs like Mays Spring and Adairia Spring indicate the essential water points that have historically supported ranching operations in this portion of Eastern Washington.
