2014 Map of Farmer

About this map

The small settlement of Farmer serves as the focal point of this Douglas County upland, where the grid of the Public Land Survey System defines the agricultural landscape of Washington’s interior. Located along Us-2 and Baseline Rd E, the community is historically anchored by the Evangelical Emanuel Cem, reflecting the early 20th-century spiritual and social foundations of the local farming population. The terrain breaks sharply to the south into the dramatic geological depressions of Moses Coulee and Pine Canyon. These basalt-rimmed features, along with Peggy Canyon, disrupt the steady pattern of township roads like Road B SW and Road C NW, illustrating how the massive glacial-outburst floods of the prehistoric era continue to dictate the placement of transportation and homesteads across this high plateau.
