The dramatic geological formation of the Grand Coulee dominates the eastern edge of this survey, where the landscape drops sharply into the Lower Grand Coulee. This section of the coulee contains the northern reaches of Lenore Lake, framed by sheer basalt cliffs. On the plateau above, a grid of rural roads including Baseline Rd and Whitehall Rd SE organizes the agricultural landscape of Douglas and Grant Counties. The presence of Highland Cem near the intersection of Baseline and the Us-2 highway provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in this arid region. The terrain is further defined by deep cuts into the coulee walls, such as Coyote Canyon and Hybel Canyon, which illustrate the erosion patterns characteristic of the Channeled Scablands.
