2020 Map of Washtucna South

About this map

Washtucna sits at the northern edge of this desert landscape, where the town's grid meets the dramatic geology of the Washtucna Coulee. This area is characterized by the ancient, carved pathways of the Scablands, including the smaller Holliday Coulee and the secluded Deep Lake to the southeast. The map reveals a transition from the structured township of Washtucna into the open expanses of the Palouse, bisected by the Adams and Franklin county line. The presence of the Columbia-Plateau State Park Trail highlights the reuse of former rail corridors, winding through the terrain alongside local routes like Nunamaker Rd and Palouse Falls Rd. This survey documents the intersection of rural agriculture and geological formations in eastern Washington, tracing the roads and trails that navigate the high plateaus and deep coulees.
