About this map

Viola sits at the eastern edge of the Palouse hills along the border of Washington and Idaho, serving as a central point for this agricultural landscape. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations, including Angel Butte, Ringo Butte, and Parker Butte, which rise above the surrounding farmland and drain into watercourses like Fourmile Cr. Small named settlements such as Ringo, Fallon, and Madson reflect the dispersed rural community structure of Whitman and Latah Counties during this period.

A network of local roads, including Viola Rd and Mc Coy Rd, connects these high-elevation points and valley settlements. The presence of Hill Airport and the Palouse Range in the eastern section of the map highlights the shift from open rolling fields to more significant geographical features. This survey provides a record of the road network and named landmarks that define the borderlands between Pullman and Moscow during the late 2010s.
