2020 Map of Pullman

About this map

Pullman sits at the confluence of several watercourses, most notably the S Fork Palouse River and Paradise Cr, which weave through the city's complex street grid. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the urban center and the surrounding agricultural uplands, characterized by landforms like Cougar Ridge. South of the main settlement, the map traces a network of small rural communities and stopping points that once dotted the Palouse region. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by landmarks such as the Pullman City Cem and the more remote Farr Cem. The rail influence of the era is evident at Pullman Junction, while the surrounding territory is peppered with hamlets like Johnson, Busby, and Chambers. These smaller locales, often centered on road intersections or rail crossings, reflect the traditional rural settlement patterns of Whitman County.
