About this map

Farmington and the smaller settlement of Walters anchor this 2017 study of the borderlands between Whitman County, Washington, and Latah County, Idaho. The landscape is defined by the transition from the rolling agricultural plains of the Palouse to the forested foothills of the St. Joe National Forest. Prominent landmarks such as Stratton Butte and Palmer Butte rise above the drainage systems of Pine Cr and Silver Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the clear markings of the Farmington Cem and Silver Creek Cem, alongside an extensive rural road network that includes descriptive names like Mail Route Rd, Walter Siding Rd, and Skyline Drive Rd. The map illustrates how transportation patterns have evolved around the early rail and agricultural sidings that once sustained these border communities.
