2011 Map of Starbuck West

About this map

The Snake River and its major tributaries, the Palouse River and Tucannon River, converge in this corner of Columbia County. The landscape is defined by the massive Lake Herbert G West Reservation Area, which pools behind Lyons Dam. Along the northern banks, the Marmes Rock Shelter and Old Bones Cemetery indicate the deep human history of the river bluffs. In the southeastern corner, the town of Starbuck serves as a local hub near Kellogg Creek, with its street grid including Railroad St and Lauren St. The map also documents agricultural life through named homesteads like Fletcher Farm and Tucker Farm, while river crossings and settlements such as Perry, Joso, and Pataha mark the transit corridors of the inland Northwest.
