1919 Map of Walla Walla

About this map

The Walla Walla valley and the surrounding agricultural uplands are captured here following a 1919 survey, showcasing a landscape defined by wheat farming and a dense network of early 20th-century rail lines. The Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Co and the Northern Pacific crisscross the region, connecting small grain-handling settlements like Prescott, Waitsburg, and Huntsville. The map details the local infrastructure of the era, from the State Penitentiary at the edge of the city to the Whitman National Monument near College Place.
