1969 Map of Harrington SE

About this map

Crab Creek and its South Fork carve through this section of the Channeled Scablands, defining a landscape of basalt coulees and plateaued benchlands. Recorded during a 1969 field check, the map reveals a sparsely populated agricultural and grazing region where infrastructure is dictated by the water. The Rocky Ford Bridge provides a vital crossing over the creek, while the presence of several Wells and a seasonal Spring indicate the importance of groundwater in this semi-arid terrain.
