About this map

La Crosse sits on the western edge of this Palouse landscape, where the agricultural legacy of Whitman County is mapped through a network of named country roads and seasonal watercourses. The drainage patterns of Union Flat Creek and Willow Cr carve through the high-elevation terrain, illustrating the complex topography that defines the region’s wheat-growing country. To the east, the Lacrosse Grange serves as a focal point for the rural community, situated along Wa-26.

The map's detail provides a record of land use and family holdings through labels such as Scharpenberg Rd, Jim Knott Rd, and Long John Morasch Rd. These roads, along with features like Lester Camp Rd and Mud Flat Rd, trace the movement of goods and people across the high plains. The transition between Township 15 North and Township 16 North is clearly delineated, showing how the Public Land Survey System organized this productive agricultural interior.
