1964 Map of Lamont NE

About this map

The Spokane Portland and Seattle railroad cuts through the northwestern corner of this landscape in Whitman County, following the natural contours near the northern boundary. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of coulees and drainage systems, where water bodies like Stoner Lake and Big Lake gather in the depressions of the upland plateau. In the eastern portion of the quadrangle, Imbler Creek and Packer Creek wind through the valleys, illustrating the hydraulic patterns of this agricultural region. Transportation in the mid-1960s relied on corridors such as Elliott Road, which connects the scattered farmsteads across the hills. This survey provides a clear look at the rural infrastructure of the Pacific Northwest before the expansion of modern highway systems, emphasizing the relationship between the rail lines and the undulating geography of eastern Washington.
