2011 Map of Winona

About this map

The Palouse River winds through this Whitman County landscape, carving a distinct path through the scablands and canyons of eastern Washington. The settlement of Winona serves as a central hub where the river meets Rebel Flat Creek, while the smaller locale of Sutton lies further south along the Winona South Rd. This survey documents a rural economy defined by wide draws and canyons, including Texas Draw, Little Cove Canyon, and Big Cove Canyon in the north. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Winona Cemetery, situated just west of the main townsite. Water resources are prominent throughout the quadrangle, from the larger river system to smaller features like Johnson Lake, Sutton Pond, and Downing Creek. The network of backroads, such as Dynamite Jack Rd and Jim Knott Rd, connects these isolated homesteads and geographic landmarks.
