2013 Map of Coyote Butte

About this map

Cow Creek winds through the volcanic Coulee landscape of central Washington, defining the drainage patterns south of Thavis. This high-desert plateau is marked by distinct topographic rises like Terksaleeze Butte and Coyote Butte, which provided natural landmarks for the early transit routes through Adams County. The mapping shows a network of rural corridors, including the storied Old Military Rd, which historically linked inland forts and settlements. Near the southern edge of the survey, the small community of Mack sits along Mack Rd, while the isolated Spider Lake occupies a low-lying depression to the east. The section lines of the Public Land Survey System, including t17n r36e and t16n r37e, create a rigid grid across the undulating terrain, illustrating the systematic division of land for agricultural and grazing use in the early twenty-first century.
