2011 Map of Ewan

About this map

Ewan and Lancaster anchor this agricultural landscape in Whitman County, where the Palouse terrain is defined by an intricate network of seasonal and perennial waterways. The northern reach is dominated by the course of Cottonwood Creek and the smaller Kamiache Creek, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is drained by Downing Creek and its tributary, the East Fork Downing Creek. The rural character of the area is underscored by a grid of named roads that follow the contours of the land, including Rock Lake Rd and Lancaster Rd. Stevens Lake provides a notable point of interest in the western section. The map reveals the persistence of small-scale settlement patterns in eastern Washington, where historical farming communities remain connected by a web of local routes like Harry Pierce Rd and Bonnington Rd.
