About this map

Wilson Cr carves a winding path through the high basalt plateau of eastern Washington, tracing the border where Grant Co meets Lincoln Co. This landscape is defined by the expansive grid of the Public Land Survey System, which has dictated the placement of agricultural access routes throughout the 21st century. The map reveals a network of roads named for local families and early settlers, such as Christensen Rd, Peha Rd, and Pfeifer Rd E, reflecting the enduring legacy of dryland farming and ranching in the region. The drainage patterns around Gibson Draw Rd E and the numerous coulees shown by detailed contours highlight the complex geological history of the scablands, where prehistoric floods left a lasting mark on the modern topography.
