2011 Map of Irby

About this map

Irby serves as the focal point of this Eastern Washington landscape, situated along the meandering path of Crab Creek. This 2011 survey reveals a geography defined by the basalt coulees and watercourses typical of the region, where Lake Creek joins the larger drainage and Bobs Lakes lie to the northeast. The map provides a clear record of the rural road network that facilitates the local agricultural economy, with routes like Kagele Rd N, Batum Rd N, and Fink Rd E dividing the terrain into a traditional grid. Local family names are preserved through these thoroughfares, including Wraspir Rd E, Ott Rd E, and Dyck Rd N, offering a contemporary look at land ownership and property boundaries in Lincoln County. The intersection of these local roads with the railroad corridor at Irby highlights the historic importance of transport links in this sparsely settled prairie.
