2020 Map of Bassett Junction

About this map

Bassett Junction stands as a central point in this Grant County landscape, where the agricultural infrastructure of the Columbia Basin is clearly visible. The engineering of the East Low Canal and the Weber Wasteway dictates the local geography, providing the essential water management for this arid region of Washington. Small settlements like Ritell, Atwood, and Tiflis are dispersed throughout the survey area, reflecting a pattern of rural development tied to the land's irrigation and transport networks. The map detail highlights an extensive grid of section roads, including Baseline E and Rd 4 SE, which connect these agricultural hubs. The presence of Barham and Laing further north underscores the historical spacing of rail and road sidings that once anchored local farming communities.
