2017 Map of Levey NE

About this map

Rye Grass Flat and its surrounding canyons define this corner of Franklin County, where the high plateau is deeply incised by drainages like Smith Canyon and McCoy Canyon. The landscape is etched with a network of rural routes that follow both the ridgelines and the coulee floors, including Rye Grass Coulee Rd and Haverland Koontz Rd. These roads often trace the boundaries of the Public Land Survey System, as seen in the strictly gridded townships of t11n r32e and t12n r32e. Along the eastern edge, Pasco Kahlotus Road provides the primary transit artery, while secondary paths like Fishhook Elgin Rd and Snake River Rd connect the scattered homesteads and agricultural tracts. The map reveals the intricate topographic relationship between the Rye Grass Coulee drainage system and the flat upland areas used for dryland farming.
