About this map

Pomeroy and the nearby settlement of Pataha anchor this landscape where the high plateau of southeastern Washington meets deep, sculpted drainages. The area is defined by a series of prominent gulches, including Heaton Gulch, Benjamin Gulch, and Brown Gulch, all of which feed toward the valley of Pataha Cr. This watercourse served as a vital corridor for early settlement, now traced by the grid of Pomeroy with streets like Columbia St and Villiard St.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Holy Rosary Cem on the western edge of town and the Pataha Flat Cem further south on the high grounds of Pataha Flat. The terrain rises significantly toward the south, culminating at Calloway Hill, while specialized geographic features like Dutch Flat and Rickman Gulch show the complex topography of Garfield County. Small water sources such as Butler Spring and Bihmaier Springs are noted among the steep slopes.
