About this map

The high plateau of the Columbia Basin in Lincoln County defines this agricultural landscape as it was documented in the late 1960s. The terrain is characterized by a high concentration of Well and Spring sites, supporting the dryland farming operations that rely on the Grain Elevator and various Storage Bins scattered across the township. The drainage of Canniwai Creek and the small basin of Carpenter Lake provide the primary hydrological relief in an area dominated by intricate contour lines and basalt coulees. Local history and genealogy interests are represented by the Tolonen Cem, a small burial ground situated north of the creek, while the presence of multiple Gravel Pit locations indicates the local extraction industry used for road maintenance and regional development.
