2011 Map of Pullman

About this map

The Washington State University campus and the core of Pullman dominate the northern landscape of this survey, where the South Fork Palouse River meets Paradise Creek. The city's grid transitions into the surrounding agricultural terrain, which is punctuated by smaller rural nodes and transport points. To the south, the map documents the rural infrastructure of Whitman County, including the Staley Airport and several rail-oriented locations such as Pullman Junction and Staley Siding. The distribution of family-named sites and rural settlements like Chambers, Busby, and Johnson illustrates the late 20th-century settlement pattern of the Palouse region. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by the Farr Cemetery west of the city center and the network of creeks, including Wilbur Creek and Union Flat Creek, that define the drainage of this undulating landscape.
