2011 Map of Ephrata SW

About this map

Wheatland School stands as a focal point in this portion of Grant County, marking a site of local importance within a landscape defined by an extensive grid of section roads and irrigation infrastructure. The territory is dominated by the Quincy Lateral Canal and its associated Canal Maintenance Rd, which underscore the region's managed agricultural character. Steep elevation changes are most prominent at Two Springs Canyon, while the surrounding terrain is navigated by a systematic network of thoroughfares including Baird Springs Rd, Martin Rd, and Sagebrush Flats Rd. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates how water management systems and rural road layouts have organized the sagebrush flats and coulees of central Washington in the early 21st century.
