2017 Map of Gloyd

About this map

Gloyd sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Grant County, defined by a meticulously surveyed grid of township and range lines. The terrain is shaped by the presence of water management and natural drainage, with Crab Cr winding through the central basin towards Lake Lyon and Glyn Lake. This area of the Columbia Basin is characterized by its systematic road network, where routes like Stratford Rd Ne and Eastside Rd Ne intersect at precise intervals to serve local farmsteads and orchards. The northern reach of the map features S Willow Lake and the engineered path of the E Low Canal Rd Ne, illustrating the sophisticated irrigation infrastructure necessary for the region's productivity. Local historians can trace the development of these rural sections through the numerous named secondary roads, such as Rd 12 Ne and Rd 16 Ne, which provide a granular view of 21st-century land division.
