About this map

Pomeroy serves as the focal point of this Eastern Washington landscape, situated along the winding course of Pataha Creek. The town's grid is well-defined by streets such as Columbia St and Baldwin Ave, reflecting its established role in the region. Moving east, the smaller settlements of Berlin and Pataha sit along the same valley, illustrating the historical importance of the water corridor for local development. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies significant sites like Holy Rosary Cemetery on the western edge of town and the more isolated Pataha Flat Cemetery to the south.

The surrounding geography is defined by a series of deep drainages including Heaton Gulch, Benjamin Gulch, and Rickman Gulch, which carve into the high plateaus of Dutch Flat and Pataha Flat. This pattern of gulches and flats suggests a landscape shaped by agricultural use and the natural flow of water toward the Pataha valley, connected by a network of rural routes like Tatman Mountain Rd and Ball Grade Rd.
