2011 Map of Fairfield

About this map

Fairfield and Rockford anchor the southeast and northeast corners of this eastern Washington landscape, connected by a network of drainage systems flowing toward Hangman Creek. The settlement pattern is defined by agricultural regularity, with rural outposts like Mount Hope and Darknell appearing as distinct clusters along the drainage of Rock Creek. Local history is preserved at sites like Mount Hope Cemetery and Fairview Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this farming region. The terrain is relatively uniform but punctuated by prominent volcanic features such as Morefield Butte and Hansen Butte in the southeast. A intricate web of named watercourses, including Rattler Run Creek, Fisher Creek, and Mica Creek, illustrates the complex hydrology that supports the local orchards and fields of Spokane County.
