2017 Map of Fairfield

About this map

The agricultural landscape of southeastern Spokane County is defined by the three primary settlements of Fairfield, Rockford, and the rail-oriented hamlet of Darknell. This area is shaped by a dense network of seasonal and perennial waterways, including Hangman Creek and Rattler Run Cr, which carve through the terrain between prominent landmarks like Morefield Butte and Hansen Butte. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, documenting the locations of Mount Hope Cem and Fairview Cem, alongside a meticulous grid of named section roads such as S Darknell Rd and S Mount Hope Rd. The concentration of drainage features like Cottonwood Cr and Deadman Cr suggests the complex hydrology that influenced early homesteading and modern dryland farming patterns in this part of the Palouse region.
