Uniontown and Colton anchor this corner of Whitman County, Washington, along the edge of the Idaho border. The landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Union Flat Cr, Little Thorn Cr, and Cow Cr, which carve through the plateau. A dense network of local roads carries family and topographical names, such as Bald Butte Rd, Alley-Heitstuman Rd, and R Druffel Rd, reflecting the deep agricultural roots and property divisions of the Palouse region. The small settlement of Leon sits further east, near the confluence of local creek systems. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows the continued importance of transport corridors like Depot St in Colton, even as the area maintains its rural character and focus on the productive soil of the surrounding hills.
