2011 Map of Pizarro

About this map

Pizarro sits at the center of this rural Adams County landscape, where the long-distance John Wayne Trl follows the old railway corridor through the dry plateau. The settlement’s geography is defined by a grid of agricultural section roads and the drainage patterns that feed into Kautz Dam. Many of the thoroughfares, such as N Suko Rd, N Thiel Rd, and Bauer Rd, bear the names of local families who established the wheat-growing economy of the region. This 2011 survey captures the area’s transition from active rail-centered commerce to a more secluded agricultural and recreational landscape. The presence of N Paha Packard Rd and E Providence Rd illustrates the expansive network required to navigate this portion of the Washington Palouse.
