About this map

Kirby serves as the focal point of this agricultural landscape in Garfield County, situated among a network of deep drainage systems that feed toward the Snake River. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably through Kluge Canyon and the various branches of Deadman Creek, including N Deadman Cr and South Fork Deadman Gulch. These natural features dictated the early settlement and road patterns of the region, visible in the winding paths of Bell Pike Rd and Tramway Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the mapped locations of Kirby Cem and Mayview Cem, which anchor the small community centers of the early 21st century. The map also highlights the intersection of modern industry and transportation, featuring the Dye Seed Ranch Inc Airport and the shoreline of Lower Granite Lake at the Garfield and Whitman county line. This record captures a quiet corner of Washington where family-named gulches like Heaton Gulch and Meadow Gulch reveal the long history of local land use.
