About this map

La Crosse serves as the focal point of this eastern Washington landscape, situated along the Union Pacific rail line. The town's economic foundations are evident in its large Grain Elevators and the nearby La Crosse Airport, which features an Airway Beacon. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Palouse River and several significant tributaries, including Flat Creek and Willow Creek.

Agricultural infrastructure is prominent throughout the quadrangle, notably at the settlement of Pampa, where Grain Elevator Storage Bins and Pampa Pond are located. Local history is anchored by features like the Cem near the town center and the Robert Camp Memorial Track. The map also captures several springs and canyons, such as Cougar Canyon, alongside industrial markers like the numerous Borrow Pits and a long-distance Pipeline.
