2011 Map of Beverly NE

About this map

Frenchman Hills dominates the topography of this central Washington quadrangle, rising above a landscape defined by an orderly grid of agricultural access roads and desert terrain. The area is characterized by the prominent Low Gap and Low Gap Pass, which provide natural passage through the elevated ridges. These geographical features dictated the placement of early transportation routes, including the intersection of Frenchman Hills Rd and Beverly Burke Rd S. The map reflects a meticulously organized rural layout, where numeric designations like Road 12 SW and Road 13 SW follow the section lines of the Columbia Basin. This survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the intersection of high-desert landforms and modern land management, preserving the specific configuration of Grant County's infrastructure at the start of the 21st century.
