2011 Map of Tekoa

About this map

The town of Tekoa serves as the focal point of this 2011 survey, situated at the confluence of Hangman Creek and Little Hangman Creek along the border between Washington and Idaho. The landscape is defined by the agricultural transition from the Palouse hills to the rising terrain of St'umt'umm Mountain and Liberty Butte. A dense network of local roads such as Jamison Rd, Footer Rd, and Morris Rd connects isolated settlements and landmarks including Seltice, Willard, and Willard Field. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint the Goldenrod Cemetery south of town or trace the original corridors of Tekoa Farmington Rd and State Line Rd. The map illustrates the persistent intersection of state boundaries and watercourses like Moctileme Creek and Willow Creek that have shaped the development of Whitman County and neighboring Benewah County.
