2020 Map of Oakesdale

About this map

Oakesdale serves as the primary hub in this portion of Whitman County, situated where Pine Cr and McCoy Cr converge. The landscape is defined by the sweeping contours of the Palouse, a region historically vital for dryland grain farming. Transportation history is etched into the terrain via the Palouse To Cascades State Park Trail, which follows the legacy of former rail corridors across the plateau. Small, enduring settlements like Fairbanks, Lone Pine, and Warner anchor the surrounding rural sections, connected by a network of gravel and paved roads such as Tekoa Oakesdale Rd. Genealogists will find the Lone Pine Cem and Oakesdale Cem as significant local landmarks, while the Oakesdale Airport reflects the area's continued reliance on local aviation for agricultural and transit needs.
