About this map

The Touchet River meanders through this agricultural landscape in Walla Walla County, carving a valley between the expansive Eureka Flat and a network of deep drainage systems. The small settlement of Rulo anchors the eastern side of the map, situated along a transportation corridor defined by an Old Railroad Grade and a prominent Grain Elevator. This region's economy is clearly visible through the numerous Storage Bins and agricultural infrastructure scattered across the rolling terrain.

Local landforms like McFall Canyon, Woodward Canyon, and Webber Canyon provide significant topographical relief, while human impact is marked by the Luckenbill Road crossing at the Luckenbill Bridge. A small Quarry near the river suggests local resource extraction, while survey markers such as Mile 20 and Mile 15 indicate the importance of river and rail mileage in the late 20th-century management of the Palouse-adjacent countryside.
