About this map

The Snake River serves as the dominant geographical corridor through this corner of Washington, where the Palouse River and Tucannon River converge with the larger waterway. The settlement of Starbuck sits near the southeast corner of the map, anchored by Kellogg Creek and the Starbuck Cem. This region is a complex junction of multiple county lines, including Columbia, Walla Walla, Whitman, and Franklin, which meet along the riverbanks and ridges.

Industrial and agricultural operations are centered around the Lyons Ferry Fish Hatchery near the small community of Perry. Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites like the Old Bones Cem near Joso and the winding paths of Fletcher Rd and Tucker Rd. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Choke Cherry Canyon and the high ground of Graveyard Hill Rd, reflecting a landscape deeply shaped by the hydrology of the interior Northwest.
