About this map

The Touchet River valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement and commerce in this pocket of Columbia and Walla Walla counties. The community of Huntsville is situated along Main Rd, while the industrial footprint of the timber industry is clearly visible at the Dayton Lumber Company Mill Pond. Agriculture and transportation are intertwined along the river flats, evidenced by the presence of the Touchet Valley Airport and smaller rail-aligned settlements like Varna, Dumas, and Long.

Beyond the valley floor, the landscape is defined by a dense network of deep drainages such as Thorn Hollow, Sorghum Hollow, and Payne Hollow. These features dictate the winding paths of local routes like Whetstone Rd and Kellogg Hollow Rd. Genealogists may find interest in the Pioneer Cem located on the eastern edge near Dayton, providing a window into the early families who inhabited these hollows.
