About this map

The small railroad community of Lamont serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey along the Adams Co Whitman Co line. Bisecting the landscape is the Spokane Portland and Seattle railroad, which follows a diagonal path past several distinctive basalt-basin water bodies. The geography is defined by the Scablands, where numerous small lakes and ponds like Alkali Lake, Sheep Lake, and Crooked Knee Lake fill depressions in the terrain. A notable insight from this period is the concentration of transport and utility infrastructure near the settlement, including a water tank and various gravel pits, reflecting the ongoing maintenance and operations of the rail corridor. Further south, the landscape becomes more dissected toward Shields, with seasonal drainages like McElroy Creek cutting through the characteristic coulee formations typical of eastern Washington.
