2013 Map of Welland

About this map

Welland sits at the edge of the expansive Eureka Flat in Walla Walla County, where the plateau begins its descent toward the river valley. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Touchet River as it carves through the southeast corner of the map, creating the deep recesses of Ninemile Canyon. This agricultural region is meticulously partitioned by a grid of rural routes, including Britton Rd and Kellogg Rd, which serve the expansive fields of the northern flats. The terrain shift is striking, moving from the level agricultural tracts of the north into the sharp, contoured draws that lead down to the riverbanks. This transition illustrates the historical reliance on the river's path for drainage and early transit while the upper flats were developed for large-scale farming.
