About this map

Lind serves as the focal point of this Adams County landscape, situated at the convergence of vital rail corridors and geological coulees. By the early 1970s, the town's infrastructure supported a robust agricultural economy, evidenced by the Lind Airport and the network of specialized routes like Experiment Station Road. The terrain is defined by dry drainage channels including Paha Coulee and Lind Coulee, which dictate the placement of the Burlington Northern and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads.

Beyond the town center, the map identifies rural landmarks such as the Lind Cem and the Radio Tower (WSU-TV) to the south. Local transit and land use are marked by numerous named roads, including Neilson Road and Seivers Road, which connect smaller points like Vassar to the regional grid. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a Borrow Pit alongside the tracks further reflects the industrial requirements of maintaining these major Pacific Northwest transportation arteries.
