About this map

The town of Almira anchors this high-plateau landscape on the eastern edge of the Grant and Lincoln County line. The settlement's street grid, including W Railroad St and W Maple St, reflects its historical development as a rail-side agricultural hub. Just southwest of the main town site, the Almira Cem sits atop a rise, offering a primary point of interest for those researching local family histories and pioneer roots in the region.

The topography is defined by the carved paths of Corbett Draw and the course of Wilson Cr, which drops notably at Wilson Creek Falls in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Scattered depressions in the undulating terrain have formed several small water bodies, notably Slaughterhouse Lake, Icehouse Lake, and Halfway Lake. This network of seasonal drainage and localized lakes provides a clear view of the water-management and terrain challenges faced by residents in this part of Washington.
