About this map

The confluence of the Touchet River and the Walla Walla River anchors this 2011 survey of southern Walla Walla County, where the settlement of Touchet serves as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural landscape. The map illustrates a complex irrigation network vital to the region's history, including the Touchet West Side Ditch, Touchet East Side Ditch, and the Gardena Ditch. These waterways support the outlying communities of Gardena and the elevated area known as Hill Top.

To the north, Ash Hollow marks the transition into the higher terrain, accessible by family-named routes such as Ash Hollow Rd and Cummins Rd. The southern portion of the sheet is defined by Gardena Creek and Pine Creek, with the political boundary clearly established along State Line Rd at the Washington-Oregon border. This geography highlights the late twentieth-century development of the region's rural road systems and water management infrastructure.
