2017 Map of Lamona

About this map

Lamona and Downs anchor the northern landscape of this Lincoln County survey, situated within a high-plateau environment defined by deep-set watercourses and a rigid grid of agricultural roads. The drainage of Crab Creek and its tributary Coal Cr cut through the terrain, creating distinct elevation changes that contrast with the flat agricultural sections. South of the main creek bed, Rocky Coulee carves through the southern sections near the border of Adams County, illustrating the transition between the channeled scabland features and the surrounding upland. The map documents an extensive network of named rural routes, such as Carlson Rd N and Iverson Corner Rd N, which delineate family landholdings and connect these small shipping points. This 2017 edition provides a clear record of modern land divisions and preserved drainage patterns in a region historically shaped by the influence of the railroad and the vast wheat-growing economy of eastern Washington.
