About this map

Edwall serves as a focal point in this Lincoln County landscape, situated along the Burlington Northern line and surrounded by the essential infrastructure of Washington's wheat country. The distribution of Grain Elevator facilities and Storage Bins at both Edwall and the Eleanor Grain Elevator siding underscores the area's agricultural reliance on rail transport during the early 1970s.

The terrain is defined by the broad Pleasant Valley and the winding course of Crab Creek, punctuated by notable landmarks like Hanning Butte and Magnison Butte. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by the Pleasant Valley Cem and smaller named locales like Wheeler Corner. This survey records a transition period for the local economy, capturing the presence of a Radio Facility and multiple Borrow Pit sites alongside traditional landmarks such as Joes Spring.
