2017 Map of Rosalia

About this map

Rosalia and Oakesdale anchor this portion of the Palouse, a region defined by complex topographic contours and a dense network of country roads. The landscape is primarily shaped by agriculture and the drainages of Pine Cr and McCoy Cr, which wind through the township sections. Small named localities like McCoy, Pandora, and Donahue represent the historical rural hubs of Whitman County, while Flaig sits along the road network to the southeast. Local history is grounded in specific sites such as Riggs Cem near the northern boundary and prominent landforms like Naff Ridge and Granite Butte. The transition from the Old State Hwy to modern routes illustrates the evolution of transport through these rolling hills, which remain divided by the systematic grid of the Public Land Survey System, including t20n r43e and t19n r44e.
