2020 Map of Connell SE

About this map

Five Corners and the southern outskirts of Connell anchor this 2020 landscape in Franklin County, where the high desert terrain is defined by dramatic erosion and agricultural access. The land is carved by the deep path of Smith Canyon in the southwest and the winding Dunnigan Coulee further north, reflecting the complex drainage patterns characteristic of the Columbia Basin. A dense network of rural roads, often bearing the names of local families, organizes the territory into a grid for transport and land management. Long thoroughfares like Fishook Elgin Rd and Mesa Kahlotus Rd connect the scattered homesteads and fields, while shorter routes such as Bauermeister Rd and Overturf Rd point to the area’s settled history. This survey illustrates the modern intersection of natural coulee formations and the systematic township and range boundaries that have shaped eastern Washington's development.
