2020 Map of Starbuck West

About this map

The confluence of the Palouse River and Snake River anchors this study of the southeastern Washington landscape, where several county lines meet amidst complex riverine terrain. The town of Starbuck sits in the southeast corner near the Tucannon River, while the northern portion of the map is defined by the expansive Lake Herbert G West. This region serves as a significant transit corridor, evidenced by the Lyons Ferry Bridge and a network of rural routes including Lyons Ferry Rd and Powers Rd. Local history is preserved in small settlements and points of interest such as Joso, Perry, and Powers, along with the evocatively named Old Bones Cem. The topography transitions from the high ridges of Choke Cherry Canyon down to the river valleys, showing the intersection of Whitman and Columbia counties and their neighbors.
