About this map

Tekoa Mtn dominates the southern landscape of this 2020 survey, marking the high ground where Spokane and Whitman counties meet the Idaho state line. The settlement at Wallner sits at the base of this elevation, positioned along the Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail. This former rail corridor follows the natural contours of the land, connecting the various drainages that define the region's topography.

North and east of the mountain, the terrain opens into the Rock Creek Valley and Lovell Valley, where a network of rural roads like S Idaho Rd and Fairfield Rd service the agricultural highlands. Watercourses such as Little Hangman Cr and Rock Cr cut through the hills, while the Idaho Road Bridge provides a crossing point near the border. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by both its significant vertical relief, including Gelbert Mtn, and the persistence of the historic transportation routes that once linked these border communities.
