About this map

Rosalia serves as the primary hub in this northern Whitman County landscape, where the town's street grid, including N Whitman Ave and Josephine Ave, meets the surrounding agricultural expanse. The area's transportation history is preserved through the John Wayne Trl, which follows the path of former rail corridors through the drainage of Pine Creek. Small, dispersed settlements like McCoy, Donahue, and Pandora anchor the rural road network, while the north-central portion of the map features the quiet grounds of Riggs Cemetery near the intersection of Merritt Rd and Pandora Rd.

To the south, the topography transitions toward Naff Ridge and the prominent Granite Butte. This section of the Palouse is defined by the winding courses of McCoy Creek and Cabbage Creek, which carve through the farm fields. Family names are deeply embedded in the geography through road labels such as Sheahan Rd, Horlacher Rd, and Baird Rd, providing valuable points of interest for those researching the local genealogy of this region.
