About this map

The town of Harrington serves as the focal point of this late-1960s survey, situated at the junction of the Burlington Northern railroad and several regional conduits. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Coal Creek and a network of agricultural and industrial infrastructure, including numerous Gravel Pits and Grain Elevators that highlight the local economy. To the southwest, the small settlement of Mohler sits along the rail line, marked by its own Elevator and a nearby Gaging Station.

Modern infrastructure of the era is evident through the presence of a Pipeline cutting diagonally across the terrain, a Radio Tower, and a Landing Strip in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Local recreation and municipal services are represented by the Golf and Country Club and Sewage Disposal Ponds on the outskirts of the main townsite, offering a detailed view of a Washington grain-country hub during a period of established rail transport.
