2011 Map of Mathews Corner

About this map

Mathews Corner serves as the central point of this agricultural landscape in Franklin County, defined by a rigid grid of roads and an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure. The Ringold Wasteway meanders through the terrain, a critical component of the regional water management system that transformed this arid portion of Washington into productive farmland. Large rural blocks are partitioned by major thoroughfares such as Taylor Flats Rd and Eltopia Rd, while residential developments like Country Haven Loop signal the gradual expansion of local settlements. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the area during a period of established industrial-scale farming, where family-named roads like N Bellevue Rd and N Dayton Rd mark the long-standing land ownership patterns of the region.
