About this map

Creston and the small settlement of Sherman anchor this agricultural landscape in Lincoln County during the late 1980s. The topography is defined by the transition from the rolling drainage of Goose Creek and Sherman Creek toward the northern canyon walls. The northern edge of the map features the Columbia River and Franklin D Roosevelt Lake, where the Coulee Dam National Recreation Area meets the boundary of the Colville Indian Reservation.

Evidence of local history and infrastructure includes a Cem near Sherman and a rural Landing Strip to the south. The terrain is marked by distinct features like Jump Canyon and Sage Hen Draw, while the presence of both Steel Tower Trans Lines and Wooden Pole Trans Lines illustrates the modernization of utility corridors through the plateau country. Kunz Lake provides a localized water feature amidst the expansive surveyed sections.
