2017 Map of Mesa West

About this map

Mesa and the smaller settlement of Edwards anchor this central Washington landscape, where the agricultural and aviation needs of Franklin County are etched into the terrain. The presence of Slinkard Airfield north of the town center suggests the importance of aerial access in this rural region, while the Bernsens-810 Reservoir and Mesa Lake indicate a managed water system vital for local industry and irrigation. The topography is defined by the significant depressions of Esquatzel Coulee and Old Maid Coulee, which cut through the land alongside a network of local roads such as RD 170 and Sheffield Rd. Several small bodies of water, including Worth Lake, Bailie Pond, and Clark Pond, are scattered across the landscape, providing specific points of interest for those studying the local hydrology and land use patterns of the early 21st century.
