1966 Map of Valley Grove

About this map

Union Pacific tracks cut through the western grain country of Walla Walla County, connecting the small rail settlements of Ennis and Russell. The landscape is dominated by the broad drainage of Spring Valley, where agricultural infrastructure reflects the region's wheat-growing identity. Large Grain Elevators and Storage Bins are situated alongside the tracks at Valley Grove, serving as the primary collection points for local harvests. The map reveals a systematic network of farm-to-market roads, including Hart Road and Lower Waitsburg Road, which navigate the undulating terrain surrounding Dry Creek. Scattered features like a Cistern, a Gravel Pit, and various isolated wells illustrate the practical water and material needs of this mid-century rural community.
