About this map

The Touchet River valley serves as the central artery for this part of Columbia and Walla Walla counties, anchoring the small settlements of Huntsville, Dumas, Varna, and Long. This corridor is defined by its agricultural and industrial utility, evidenced by the Dayton Lumber Company Mill Pond and the Touchet Valley Airport. The landscape transitions from the river bottom into a series of deeply etched drainages with evocative local names such as Whoopemup Hollow, Hogeye Hollow, and Sorghum Hollow.

Tracing the rural road network reveals the importance of the grain and timber economy, with routes like Millrace Rd and Kellogg Hollow Rd connecting upland plateaus to the valley floor. For those researching local lineages, the Pioneer Cem situated near the eastern edge of the map provides a specific point of interest for early regional history. The map also documents the seasonal watercourses of Whetstone Cr and Whisky Cr as they feed into the primary river system.
