McCartney Creek carves a deep, winding path through the central plateau of Douglas County, defining the drainage patterns of this arid landscape. This 2011 survey reveals the isolated settlement of McCartney and the nearby Rimrock Meadows Airport, which serve as small focal points within an otherwise vast expanse of high-desert terrain. The map captures the specialized road network of the era, where routes like Jameson Lake Rd NE and Highland School Rd SE follow the section lines of the rectilinear grid. Significant topographical breaks occur at Sulphur Canyon and Armour Draw, while vital water sources are noted at Camel Spring and Coyote Spring, highlighting the essential landmarks for livestock and land management in this portion of the Washington interior.
