2017 Map of Garfield

About this map

Garfield anchors the southeast corner of this landscape, situated along the banks of Silver Cr where it meets the drainage from the surrounding hills. This section of Whitman County is defined by a dense network of seasonal and perennial streams, including Kelley Cr, McCoy Cr, and Pine Cr, which have shaped the undulating terrain. Small rural settlements and geographic locales such as Belmont, Eden, and Sokulk are connected by a grid of named roads like Black Rd and Farmington Rd, reflecting a long-established agricultural pattern. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Garfield Cem just south of the town center, while following the former rail corridors and siding locations like Walter Siding Rd that once served the Palouse region's grain economy.
