About this map

Waitsburg serves as the focal point of this survey, positioned at the confluence of the Touchet River and Coppei Creek. The town's layout is meticulously detailed, showing the street grid from W 2nd St to E 8th St, alongside local landmarks like the Waitsburg City Cem and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem. The surrounding Touchet Valley is characterized by a series of deeply carved drainages with evocative local names such as Whetstone Hollow, Whoopemup Hollow, and Kellogg Hollow.

The landscape outside the town center transitions into rugged upland terrain marked by Weller Canyon and McKay Hollow. Small historical points of interest are scattered throughout the region, including the rural settlements of Bolles to the west and McKay to the northeast. The presence of Colville Springs and Fountain Springs in the northwest suggests the importance of water sources in this high-relief area of the Columbia and Walla Walla county line.
