About this map

The settlement of Winona serves as a central hub in this Whitman County landscape, where the Union Pacific railroad tracks follow the winding course of the Palouse River. The map highlights a rural economy deeply tied to the land and transportation, evidenced by the clustered Grain Elevators, a Water Tank, and various Storage Bins near the tracks. To the west of the main settlement, the Winona Cemetery sits on a rise above the river valley.

Water management and natural drainage define the surrounding terrain, with features like Mason Draw, Texas Draw, and Rebel Flat Creek carving through the plateau. Small industrial footprints, including several Borrow Pits and a Gravel Pit, are scattered near the rail line and the Winona Benge Road. Further south, the map identifies the location of Sutton near Sutton Pond, illustrating the sparse but deliberate distribution of rail-side stops in the Palouse region during the early 1980s.
