About this map

Walthill and Winnebago anchor this portion of the Winnebago Reservation, where the landscape is defined by the drainage networks of Omaha Creek and North Blackbird Creek. The map documents a significant cultural landscape, centered on the Saint Augustine Indian Mission and its associated Saint Augustine Mission Cemetery. These institutions, along with the Winnebago Cemetery and Evergreen Cemetery, provide essential points of reference for genealogists and local historians studying the tribal and pioneer heritage of Thurston County.

Transportation patterns are dominated by a grid of local roads and Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including B I A 30 and B I A 17. The map illustrates the rural character of the area just after the first decade of the 21st century, showing the relationship between the developed town sites and the surrounding agricultural sections. Small creek branches like Turtle Creek, Morgan Creek, and Cow Creek dissect the terrain, influencing the placement of original homesteads and modern residential additions like Sunrise Dr.
