About this map

Wilcox and Mockonema sit within the drainage basins of the Palouse region, where numerous seasonal and perennial creeks carve through the agricultural landscape. The map centers on the winding course of Union Flat Cr and Rebel Flat Cr, which define the local topography alongside Alkali Flat Cr and Penawawa Cr. The presence of Onecho Cem in the southern portion of the quadrangle provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing families in this part of Whitman County.

Modern infrastructure is represented by the Port of Whitman Business Air Center and a network of rural roads such as Almota Rd and Wilcox Rd. These routes connect the small settlements and local flats, including Rebel Flat, illustrating the persistent rural settlement pattern of eastern Washington. The detailed contour lines reveal the complex finger-ridges and draws typical of the area, stretching from Frog Cr in the north to Goose Cr near the southern boundary.
