2023 Map of Palouse Falls

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Palouse Falls and Little Palouse Falls dominate this section of the Palouse River, where the water has carved deep into the basalt plateaus of Whitman, Adams, and Franklin counties. This modern survey shows the dramatic transition from the high coulees and plains down to the riverbed, offering a precise look at the land's hydrology. Historical transportation routes like Mullan Rd and Old State Hwy 26 intersect with the Columbia Plateau State Park Trl, tracing the movement of people across this landscape for over a century. The area is dotted with numerous small bodies of water and springs, including Wildcat Lake, Findley Lake, and Gildersleeve Spring. Notable viewpoints like Fryxell Overlook provide vantage points over the complex network of canyons, such as Winn Lake Canyon and Layman Canyon, highlighting the geological power of the river's path.
