About this map

Washington State Univ anchors the northern portion of this survey, surrounded by the dense street grid of Pullman. The university grounds and the surrounding residential sectors like NE Stadium Way and NE Campus St define the urban center, while the S Fork Palouse River and Paradise Cr converge nearby. Just south of the main city, the terrain transitions into a series of smaller agricultural hubs and rail-aligned settlements. Notable locations include Pullman Junction, Whitlow, and Busby, each marking points of historical transit and commerce in Whitman County.

The southern half of the map reveals the scattered rural development of the Palouse, characterized by isolated stops such as Staley, Chambers, and Johnson. Local genealogy is preserved at sites like Pullman City Cem and the smaller Farr Cem. The landscape is etched by various drainage patterns, including Missouri Flat Cr and Sunshine Cr, illustrating the relationship between the regional topography and the established transport routes that connected these farming communities.
