2023 Map of Pleasant View

About this map

Tompkins sits at the edge of the undulating grain fields and dry-land farming country typical of the Walla Walla region. The landscape is defined by its deep drainages and ridges, featuring prominent landforms such as Eureka Flat and the Skyrocket Hills. A network of winding roads, including Lyon's Ferry Rd and Barstow Rd, traces the contours of the terrain, connecting isolated homesteads and high-elevation agricultural plots. The map reveals the critical importance of water in this arid environment, evidenced by the named Smith Springs located within Smith Springs Hollow. Local geography is further characterized by numerous deep canyons and draws like Winnett Canyon and Badger Hollow, which shape the flow of the land and the placement of rural infrastructure.
