Lower Smith Canyon cuts through this agricultural landscape in southeastern Franklin County, where the high plateaus are marked by a regular grid of section lines and rural access roads. The 2013 landscape is defined by its aviation and irrigation infrastructure, including the Columbia Ag Airport and Carr Airport, which serve the expansive farming operations of the region. A network of family-named thoroughfares such as Kruse Rd, Peterson Rd, and Galloway Rd connect the scattered homesteads. The presence of Tree Farm Rd suggests the specialized land use common in this part of Washington. This survey provides a clear view of the rural settlement patterns and the systematic organization of the Columbia Basin's agricultural frontier in the early 21st century.
