2011 Map of Thornton

About this map

Sunset and Thornton anchor the northern reaches of this Palouse landscape, where the drainage systems of Cottonwood Creek and Pleasant Valley Creek carve through the agricultural plateau. In the early 21st century, the map reveals a meticulously organized rural infrastructure defined by long-established family name roads such as Harry Davis Rd, Mcguire Rd, and Al Balline Rd. The eastern corridor is dominated by the transit line through Cashup, following the path of the Old Thornton Hwy. This survey illustrates the enduring relationship between the region's topography and its transportation network, from the small-town layout around Railroad St in Thornton to the sprawling reach of Cashup Flat Rd across the open country.
