2020 Map of Gloyd

About this map

Gloyd sits at a crossroads of agriculture and hydrology in this high-desert landscape of central Washington. The engineered path of the East Low Canal cuts diagonally across the northern terrain, illustrating the sophisticated irrigation infrastructure necessary for the region's farming economy. Natural water features like Crab Creek wind through the center of the map, creating a chain of wetlands and water bodies including Lake Lyon, Glyn Lake, and Willow Lake. The rural road network, defined by routes such as Stratford Rd NE and Eastside Dr Ne, follows the rigid Public Land Survey System grid, partitioning the land into townships like t21n r28e and t22n r28e. This layout reveals the intersection of modern logistics and the natural drainage patterns of the Columbia Basin.
