About this map

Garfield sits at the southern edge of this topographical study, positioned along the banks of Silver Creek where a network of town streets like W Spokane ST and W Adams ST meet the rural landscape. This portion of Whitman County is defined by its agricultural layout, with long stretches of rural routes named for early settlers and local families, such as Auvil Wagner RD, Stan Pfaff RD, and Bishop RD. These roads connect small clusters of homes and historical transit points like Belmont, Sokulk, and Crabtree.

The terrain is dissected by numerous waterways, including Dry Creek and Kelley Creek, which flow through the rolling contours characteristic of the Palouse. Just outside the main settlement, the Garfield Cem serves as a vital touchstone for genealogists. The map also records the location of Oakesdale in the northern reach, reflecting the established network of farming communities that have long anchored this region's rural economy.
