About this map

Farmington sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along the historic boundary between Washington and Idaho. This 1994 revision, based on photographs dating back to 1961, shows a region defined by the intersection of state lines and the rolling drainage of Pine Creek and Union Creek. The rail infrastructure of the Burlington Northern and Pacific lines carves through the terrain, illustrating the logistical importance of this borderland for Pacific Northwest transport.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of the Farmington Cemetery and Silver Creek Cemetery. The eastern edge of the map transitions into the St Joe National Forest, where prominent features like Stratton Butte and Palmer Butte dominate the horizon. Small, localized settlements like Walters and landmarks such as the Water Tank provide specific points of interest for those tracing the development of Whitman and Latah counties.
