2020 Map of Batum

About this map

The settlement of Batum sits at the intersection of Griffith Rd and N Batum Rd, serving as a central point in this agricultural landscape of Adams County. The terrain is defined by the carved paths of Rocky Coulee and Farrier Coulee, which disrupt the otherwise orderly grid of section lines and gravel roads. This area preserves layers of local history, from the early spiritual life centered at Emmaus Cem in the northwest to the Cold War-era remains of a Titan Missile Silo located south of the main township. The presence of Tree Heart Ranch Airport and several isolated springs, such as Rock Spring, highlights the necessity of localized infrastructure in this expansive part of the Washington interior. The map documents a landscape where traditional farming roads like Schoessler Rd and Neergaard Rd connect remote ranching operations across the coulee-broken plains.
