About this map

The settlement of Lamona stands as the primary hub of this 1969 Lincoln County landscape, centered around the Burlington Northern railroad corridor. The area's agricultural identity is underscored by prominent Grain Elevators located along the tracks, which follow the path of Coal Creek before it joins the larger Crab Creek valley. These watercourses have deeply carved the terrain, creating a complex series of coulees and ridges that define the local geography.

Rural infrastructure is well-established through a network of named thoroughfares including Davis Road, Dewald Road, and Thiel Road. The southern portion of the sheet marks the transition between Lincoln and Adams counties, where the land opens into broader plateaus punctuated by numerous Gravel Pits and isolated Wells. This survey documents a quiet era of Inland Empire farming, showing the relationship between natural water drainage and the rail-dependent economy of the late 1960s.
