About this map

The town of St. John serves as the central hub for this portion of the Palouse, situated at the intersection of S Main St and Railroad Ave. The surrounding landscape is defined by the complex drainages of Pleasant Valley Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Little Valley Creek, which have carved intricate patterns into the plateau. Smaller settlements like Juno and Huntley appear to the north, connected by a network of rural routes such as Sunset Rd and Pine City-Malden Rd.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-represented by the Saint John Cem located southeast of the main town site, and Gossard Field situated near Juno. The geography is further detailed by numerous named ravines and coulees, including Hastings Gulch and the East Fork Downing Creek. This modern survey documents the persistent agricultural character of the region, where the section lines of the Public Land Survey System—including t18n r41e and t19n r42e—continue to dictate the placement of roads like Coyote Rd and Oswald Rd.
