About this map

The Palouse River winds through the heart of Whitman County, defining the landscape around the small settlement of Winona. This region is characterized by a complex network of draws and canyons, including Texas Draw, Little Cove Canyon, and Big Cove Canyon, which showcase the distinctive drainage patterns of the Palouse. Agriculture and transport routes follow the natural contours of the land, with roads like Benge Winona Rd and Endicott W Hwy connecting the scattered communities.

Genealogists will find interest in the Winona Cem located just west of the primary settlement. Further south, the map identifies Sutton near Sutton Pond, illustrating the sparse but deliberate distribution of homesteads and shipping points in this wheat-growing country. Small water bodies like Johnson Lake and seasonal drainages like Rebel Flat Cr highlight the vital importance of water management in this high-altitude terrain.
