1910 Map of Pullman

About this map

Pullman and Moscow anchor this regional study of the Palouse hills, illustrating the early development of the State College of Washington and the University of Idaho across the state line. The landscape is defined by the agricultural plateaus of Spring Flat and Rebel Flat, deeply incised by the North Fork Palouse River and its tributaries. To the south, the terrain drops dramatically into the Snake River canyon, where prominent landmarks like Granite Pt and Bishop Bar line the water's edge. The industrial and transit network of the early twentieth century is visible through the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Co and Northern Pacific Railroad lines, which connect numerous small settlements and post offices such as Guy Albion P O and Elberton. A specialized Tramway near the river suggests the logistical challenges of moving goods from the high canyon rims down to the water.
