2011 Map of Oakesdale

About this map

Oakesdale serves as the primary hub in this eastern Washington landscape, situated where McCoy Creek meets the headwaters of Pine Creek. The surrounding Palouse terrain is defined by a network of small agricultural settlements including Fairbanks, Seabury, and Lone Pine, each connected by a grid of rural roads and the John Wayne Trl. This corridor traces the historic path of transit and commerce that once linked these high-prairie outposts. Genealogists can locate family landmarks such as the Lone Pine Cemetery and Oakesdale Cemetery, while several ephemeral settlements like Warner and Fletcher mark the points where rail and road once supported a denser population of growers. Numerous watercourses, including Cabbage Creek and Spring Creek, carve through the rolling hills, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped the region's productive wheat country for generations.
