2011 Map of Sperry

About this map

Harder and Sperry anchor this landscape in the southeastern Washington Palouse, showing a network of agricultural outposts and rural infrastructure. The map reveals a highly structured pattern of ranching and farming, evidenced by sites like the Ross Farm, Nanamaker Farm, and the larger Harder Ranch. Transportation and water access appear critical to the area's development, with roads such as Perry Rd and Palmer Rd connecting isolated settlements. In the southwestern corner, Washtucna Lake and Harder Spring provide rare hydrologic features in an otherwise dry, coulee-carved terrain. The presence of Fisher Ranch Airport and railroad junctions at McAdam and Wacota underscores the logistics required to support this remote farming economy in the early 21st century. Collier Coulee cuts through the northeast, illustrating the distinct geological erosion characteristic of the region.
