2017 Map of Marlin SW

About this map

Black Rock Coulee cuts through the high desert of eastern Washington, marking a landscape defined by dramatic geological formations and a network of rural section lines. This 2017 survey shows the intersection of Grant, Lincoln, and Adams counties, where the sparse drainage of Crab Cr winds through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The map documents a strictly rectilinear settlement pattern, where family names are etched into the infrastructure via thoroughfares like Kissler Rd, Graedel Rd, and Lesser Rd N. Significant for its depiction of modern transit following historical routes, the Old Hwy Lp transects the terrain, providing a look at how early 20th-century automotive paths were integrated into the contemporary local road system alongside newer connectors such as Bates Rd E and Black Rock Rd.
