2013 Map of Little Penawawa Creek

About this map

Union Flat Cr and Alkali Flat Cr wind through the dry, rolling landscape of Whitman County, defining a region where the geography is etched by seasonal watercourses. The local social fabric centers on the Wilcox Grange, a notable landmark along Wilcox Rd in the southeastern quadrant. This area of the Palouse is primarily agricultural, evidenced by the extensive network of rural roads such as Helen Repp Rd, Musgrave Rd, and Penawawa Rd that navigate the ridges and coulees. Smaller drainages including Frog Cr and Little Penawawa Cr feed into the larger creek systems, while Wa-26 serves as the primary east-west arterial connecting the isolated homesteads and farmsteads within the surveyed townships of T15N and T16N.
