2023 Map of Little Penawawa Creek

About this map

Union Flat Creek and Alkali Flat Creek meander through this landscape of the Palouse, defining a deeply eroded drainage system that shapes the local geography. The map illustrates a contemporary rural landscape in Whitman County where the topography is dominated by steep-sided draws and ridges. A network of local routes like Penawawa Rd and Wilcox Rd follow the natural contours of the land, connecting family-named landmarks such as Helen Repp Rd and C J Ochs Rd. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Little Penawawa Creek cuts through the terrain near Steiger Rd, reflecting a landscape managed for modern agriculture and transit while maintaining the original hydrographic patterns of the region. The map details the precise township and range boundaries, including t16n r42e, providing a clear view of how land parcels are organized around these vital waterways.
