About this map

Saint John serves as the primary hub of this Whitman County landscape, centered at the junction of S Main St and S Park St. The town is characterized by a dense residential grid and the local Po, acting as a gateway to the surrounding agricultural terrain. The drainage patterns of the Palouse region are clearly defined by the winding paths of Cottonwood Cr and Pleasant Valley Cr, which cut through the high-elevation plateaus.

Smaller named locales like Juno, Huntley, and Pleasant Valley anchor the outlying areas, connected by a network of rural routes such as Endicott-Saint John Rd and Lancaster Rd. For genealogists and local historians, the Pleasant Valley Cem provides a significant touchstone for family research. The map also captures specific landmarks of land use and geography, from Gossard Field in the north to Hastings Gulch and the confluence of several creek branches like Downing Cr and Little Valley Cr.
