About this map

Lake Sacajawea dominates the northern boundary of this landscape, where the Snake River separates Franklin and Walla Walla counties. The terrain transitions from the river’s edge to the expansive, level terrain of Eureka Flat, which occupies much of the southern half of the map. This area is characterized by agricultural development and transportation infrastructure typical of the Pacific Northwest's dryland farming regions, evidenced by prominent Grain Elevators located at the small settlements of Hatch and Adkins.

Rural life in the early 1990s is reflected in the network of country roads such as Van Hollebeke Rd and Blanchard Road. The presence of an Old RR Grade cutting through the southern fields indicates a shifting transportation economy, while recreational utility is found at Fishhook Park along the water. Notable natural features like the Sand Dunes north of Eureka Flat provide a distinct geological contrast to the cultivated plains.
