About this map

Union Flat Creek and Willow Creek converge in this eastern Washington landscape, framing the small settlement of La Crosse. In this agricultural region of Whitman County, the town layout is defined by a grid including S Main St, Whitman Ave, and Clara Ave. To the southwest, the smaller locality of Pampa sits along the winding course of Willow Creek near the seasonal Pampa Pond.

The northern reaches of the quadrangle are dominated by the Palouse River and the prominent rise of Black Butte. Transportation and utility are evident in the placement of the La Crosse Airport along Lacrosse Airport Rd, while rural access is maintained through a network of family and descriptive routes such as Wiedrich Rd, Wise Rd, and Dee-Camp-River Ranch Rd. The map illustrates the persistent intersection of water resources and rail-side settlements in the Palouse country.
