2014 Map of Gloyd

About this map

Gloyd marks the primary point of settlement in this part of Grant County, situated at a junction where local commerce and rural infrastructure met. The landscape is defined by the wandering path of Crab Creek, which carves through the basalt-heavy terrain of the Columbia Basin. Notable water bodies such as S Willow Lake, Lake Lyon, and Glyn Lake are scattered across the quadrangle, illustrating the complex hydrology of this arid region. The map reveals a structured grid of roads, including Stratford Rd NE and Road 12 NE, which connect the scattered agricultural tracts and water sources. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of the Public Land Survey System, showing clearly defined township and range lines like t21n r28e that organize the vast open spaces between the occasional lakes and seasonal creek beds.
