2020 Map of Waitsburg NW

About this map

Colville Springs-Hollow and Smith Springs Hollow define the drainage patterns of this upland terrain along the Walla Walla and Columbia County line. The landscape is characterized by a network of deeply incised gulches and hollows, where water sources like Colville Springs were historically vital for local agricultural operations. The road network follows these natural contours, with routes such as Graveyard Hill Rd and Manuel Hollow Rd providing access to isolated homesteads and field plots. This 2020 survey illustrates how modern parcel management and rural transit still adhere to the fundamental topography established by early settlers in the Pacific Northwest. In the northeast, Kellogg Cr flows through the high country, marking one of the few named riparian features in a region primarily defined by its dry, folded ridges.
