2011 Map of Palouse

About this map

The Palouse River winds through this 2011 survey, defining the heart of Palouse where a grid of streets like N Bridge St and E Mohr St reflects the town’s long-standing role as a local hub. The map illustrates a rural landscape marked by scattered settlements and high-elevation points such as Ladow Butte to the north and Ringo Butte near the southern border. Smaller localities like Lairds, Grinnell, and Wellesley are connected by a network of farm-to-market roads, including Yellow Dog Rd and Hellinger Rd. Just south of the river, the Greenwood Cemetery serves as a significant landmark for those researching family history in the area. The terrain transitions from river valleys to the heights of Viola Ridge, showcasing the varied topography that supports the agricultural character of this region on the Washington-Idaho border.
