2020 Map of Kirby

About this map

Kirby serves as the focal point for this landscape in Garfield County, where the high plateau of eastern Washington is deeply dissected by drainage systems feeding the Snake River. The map reveals a rural economy centered on agriculture and ranching, evidenced by the Dye Seed Ranch Inc Airport and a network of roads like Wawawai Grade Rd and Tramway Rd that navigate the complex topography of Kluge Canyon and Heaton Gulch. For those researching local lineages, the Mayview Cem and Kirby Cem provide essential geographic anchors for families settled in this part of the Palouse. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, with numerous seasonal and perennial watercourses such as S Deadman Cr and N Meadow Cr cutting through the hills, illustrating the difficult route planning required for the region's historical transport lines.
