1964 Map of Pullman

About this map

Washington State University and its sprawling campus dominate the northeast quadrant of this mid-1960s survey, revealing a landscape defined by higher education and intensive agriculture. The city of Pullman serves as a hub where the Northern Pacific and Union Pacific railroads converge, supporting the transport needs of the surrounding Palouse hills. Beyond the urban center, the WSU Experimental Farm and several gravel and borrow pits indicate the region's reliance on land research and resource extraction. Smaller agrarian outposts like Staley, Chambers, and Johnson dot the countryside, connected by winding roads that follow the drainage patterns of the South Fork Palouse River and Union Flat Creek. Local landmarks such as the City Cemetery, Whitlow Quarry, and numerous neighborhood schools like Edison Sch and Franklin Sch provide specific points of interest for genealogical and local history research.
