About this map

Waitsburg serves as the primary hub of activity on this 2017 survey, situated at the confluence of the Touchet River and Coppei Cr. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by agricultural drainage and natural draws, with the broad Touchet Valley providing a fertile corridor through the Walla Walla and Columbia county borderlands. Moving north of the town center, the terrain rises into several named canyons and hollows, including the curiously titled Whoopemup Hollow and the expansive Whetstone Hollow.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem east of the city limits, while aviation history is noted at the Weller Canyon Airport. The transport network is defined by rural routes like Lower Waitsburg Rd and Bolles Rd, which connect the main settlement to smaller points such as Bolles and McKay. Springs such as Fountain Springs and Colville Springs are also documented, marking critical water sources in this upland terrain.
