Title
Map of Garfield County, 1932 : rev. to June 9, 1937.
Subject
Garfield County (Wash.) -- Maps.<br>Road Maps -- Washington (State).
Description
1 map ; 51 x 76 cm. Inset: Pomeroy. Blue line print. Legend indicates various types of roads. <br>The land in Garfield County was initially considered grazing land, and the area was thus sparsely settled until the 1870s. When its favorable agricultural conditions became known, a population boom occurred, with several new towns popping up between 1875 and 1880. In 1881, Garfield County was created out of Columbia County, and named after former President James Garfield, who had been assassinated earlier that year. In 1883, Garfield County was further subdivided, as the eastern portion of it became Asotin County.
