2017 Map of Govan

About this map

Govan sits at the northern edge of this map, marking a quiet point in the Lincoln County landscape where early twentieth-century roads like School House Rd and Bodeau Rd N intersect. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage network including Wilson Cr., Goose Cr, and the curious Sinking Cr, which feed into numerous small, isolated basins. These depressions form unique landmarks such as Hole in the Wall Lake, Bender Lake, and Nicholson Lake. South of the main settlement, Lewis Bridge spans the drainage near Union Valley Rd, while Fiddle Box Spring provides a named water source amidst a grid of rural routes. The landscape reflects the typical Palouse-adjacent distribution of family-named roads, such as John McKay Rd and Emil Johnson Rd, which reveal the agricultural and homesteading history of the region.
