About this map

Old Maid Coulee and Dunnigan Coulee carve through this Franklin County landscape, reflecting the distinct geological drainage patterns of the Columbia Basin. The area is defined by a grid of agricultural and connector roads, with the small settlement of Five Corners situated at a crossroads in the southwestern corner near Smith Canyon. The U.S. Geological Survey and Department of the Interior recorded a network of thoroughfares including Fishook Elgin Rd, Mesa Kahlotus Rd, and Smith Rd, which serve the local farmsteads and rural properties. Many of these routes, such as Bauermeister Rd and Lindner Rd, carry the names of local families, providing a clear picture of land use and rural infrastructure in the early 21st century.
