2017 Map of Waitsburg NW

About this map

Graveyard Hill Rd and Powers Rd wind through the deeply etched drainages of the Walla Walla and Columbia County line, where the landscape is defined by the high, undulating plateaus of the Pacific Northwest. This 2017 survey shows a region largely preserved for agricultural or natural use, centered around topographical landmarks like Fields Gulch and Kellogg Cr. The naming of Colville Springs and Colville Springs Hollow suggests the historical importance of water sources in this dry upland environment. Local history is etched into the road names themselves, with Manuel Hollow Rd and Grant Herriot Ln likely referencing the families who settled and worked these hills. The map illustrates a network of rural access roads like Barger Rd and Shea Rd that follow the natural contours of the terrain, connecting isolated springs and hollows.
