1998 Map of Walla Walla

About this map

The sprawling campus of Whitman College and the landmark State Penitentiary anchor the northern reaches of this detailed Washington study. In the late 20th century, Walla Walla appears as a dense grid of residential and institutional life, where historical legacies meet mid-century expansion in neighborhoods like Eastgate and the nearby city of College Place. The city’s southern fringe reveals a shift from urban blocks to an agricultural and hydraulic landscape, defined by the irrigation network of Yellowhawk Creek, Russell Creek, and Caldwell Creek.
