2011 Map of Viola

About this map

Angel Butte and Randall Butte anchor the northern reaches of this landscape straddling the Idaho-Washington border, where the grain-growing Palouse region rises toward the timbered Palouse Range. The settlement of Viola serves as a central hub, situated along Fourmile Creek at the intersection of several regional thoroughfares including Viola Rd and Potter Rd. The map illustrates a dense network of farm-to-market roads that connect small agricultural outposts and historical loading points. To the south, Missouri Flat Creek winds through the drainage near Whelan and Estes, defining the local topography. This 2011 survey documents the persistent rural character of the area, noting smaller locales like Ringo, Fallon, and Madson that underscore the decentralized nature of the early 21st-century farming economy in this borderland.
