1968 Map of Marlin SW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Crab Creek winds through the northern portion of this Columbia Basin landscape, flanked by the heavy steel of the Burlington Northern Railroad. The geography is defined by deep basalt carves and dry watercourses, most notably the prominent Black Rock Coulee that cuts across the western sections. This 1968 survey reveals a sparse, rural infrastructure where life centers on isolated resources like a lone Spring and numerous Gravel Pits that supported local road building and maintenance. The intersection of three counties—Grant, Lincoln, and Adams—meets at precise boundaries in the southern half of the sheet. Industrial footprints are minimal but significant, marked by a cross-country Pipeline and a Radio Tower standing as modern landmarks against the ancient terrain of the Channeled Scablands. A network of county routes, including Davis Road and Moody Road, provides the primary access through this high-desert ranching and transit corridor.
