About this map

The Touchet River flows through the southern portion of this landscape, supporting the established town of Waitsburg. This area in Walla Walla County is defined by its deep creek valleys and named hollows, including Whoopemup Hollow and McKay Hollow. The town street grid is clearly delineated, featuring the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery as a notable landmark for local history.

Smaller railroad and road-side settlements such as Bolles, Menoken, and Waitsburg Junction reveal the transport network of the early 21st century. The terrain transitions from the river valley to higher ground cut by drainages like Whetstone Creek and Weller Canyon, where the Weller Canyon Airport and Fountain Springs are located. This geography highlights the importance of water and transport corridors in the development of southeastern Washington's agricultural and municipal centers.
