2013 Map of Viola

About this map

The Washington-Idaho state line bisects this landscape, dividing the agricultural plains of Whitman and Latah counties. This area is defined by the high ground of the Palouse Range and a series of prominent summits including Angel Butte, Ringo Butte, and Randall Butte. The settlement pattern is largely shaped by the winding courses of Fourmile Cr and Missouri Flat Cr, where small communities and namesake locales like Viola, Fallon, and Whelan are connected by a dense network of country roads like Mader Rd and Viola Rd. To the south, the map captures the northern edge of Moscow, showing the transition from the rolling hills of the Palouse into the urban periphery. Noted for its aviation history, the Hill Airport sits atop a rise near Sand Rd, illustrating the intersection of rural land use and small-scale transportation infrastructure in this border region.
