1954 Map of Fairfield

About this map

Fairfield and Rockford serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural and timber landscape of eastern Washington, just west of the Idaho border. The region's transport network is defined by three major rail lines—the Great Northern, Union Pacific, and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific—which cross the terrain to connect small settlements like Waverly and Latah. These tracks follow the natural contours of the Rock Creek Valley and Latah Creek, illustrating the vital role of railroads in the mid-century economy of Spokane County.
