2017 Map of Cormana Lake

About this map

Cormana Lake and Swenson Lake sit within a landscape of carved glacial drainages and coulees in Lincoln County. This 2017 survey shows a region defined by its topography, where the Coal Coulee draws a distinct line across the southern landscape near Kaputa Rd E. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and rural thoroughfares, reflecting the systematic land division of the Pacific Northwest. Waterways like Duck Cr and Coal Cr follow the natural depressions between the plateaus, while an extensive network of family-named or descriptive roads, such as Huddle Corner Rd E and Coffee Pot Rd E, connects the scattered farmsteads of the Big Bend country. The drainage patterns of the Duck Cr basin provide a clear view of how water and terrain have historically dictated movement and land use in this part of Washington.
