1964 Map of Farmington

About this map

Farmington sits at the nexus of the Washington and Idaho border, a community defined by its proximity to both the fertile Palouse hills and early western rail commerce. The Union Pacific and Burlington Northern railroads intersect south of the town center, highlighting a landscape where transportation once dictated local growth. To the south, the settlement of Walters and the isolated Silver Creek Cemetery offer researchers a look at rural burial grounds and smaller population centers outside the main town site. High points like Stratton Butte and Palmer Butte overlook the drainage systems of Pine Creek and Willow Creek. The map also captures the edge of M. M. McCroskey State Park along the state line, illustrating how public land and agricultural private holdings met during the mid-20th century.
