About this map

Drumheller and the small settlement of Five Corners anchor this rural landscape in Franklin County, defined by its extensive network of agricultural roads and drainage patterns. The map documents a sparsely populated but highly organized section of Eastern Washington as it appeared in the early 21st century. The terrain is crisscrossed by essential farm-to-market routes like Fishook Elgin Rd, Mesa Kahlotus Rd, and Bauermeister Rd, which facilitate movement through the dry coulee and upland regions. Named landmarks such as Gertler Rd and Overturf Rd reflect the generational imprint of local farming families on the geography. This survey provides a clear view of the land division and transportation infrastructure essential to the region's wheat or ranching operations before more modern developments changed the local character.
