PALOUSE: AUTUMN

Up Into The Hills

Gently sloping hills outside the town of Starbuck, Washington. Starbuck's population, like most of the Palouse, has shrunk to 18 percent of what it was in 1910. The nearby Snake River Bridge was originally build by Vantage on the Columbia Gorge several hundred miles away but later disassembled and moved to the Palouse in 1963. This bridge provided trucking access to a greater area of the Palouse and squashed the declining rate of railroad traffic through Starbuck.
