2017 Map of Farmer

About this map

Farmer serves as the central point of reference in this corner of Douglas County, where the agricultural grid meets the dramatic natural breaks of the Big Bend country. The landscape is defined by the transition from high plateau wheat fields to the deep recession of Pegg Canyon and the edge of Moses Coulee in the southeast. This 2017 topographic record illustrates the persistent geometry of rural land division, with roads like W Baseline Rd and Armstrong Rd Sw following township lines established over a century ago. A primary point of interest for genealogists and local historians is the Evangelical Emanuel Cem, located centrally between the deep coulees and the plateau's edge. The network of named routes, including Alstown Cutoff Rd and Basel Rd, reveals the legacy of early homesteading and the logistical routes used to move harvests across this high desert terrain.
