2023 Map of Frischknecht

About this map

Connell stands as the primary hub in this corner of the Columbia Basin, where the agricultural landscape meets the natural drainage of Esquatzel Coulee. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and rural roads, such as Settler Rd and Sohm Rd, that define the local property boundaries and farming tracts. The high plateau of Paradise Flats dominates the central portion of the sheet, home to the Paradise Flats Cem and the settlement of Schlomer. This area's topography is characterized by the sharp contrast between the level plains and the carved incisions of Providence Coulee. The presence of the Scooteney Wasteway in the northwest indicates the importance of irrigation and water management systems to the regional economy. Family-named landmarks like Krug Spr and several rural cemeteries provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the settlement patterns of Franklin County.
