About this map

Banks Lake and the deep basalt depressions of the Grand Coulee dominate this landscape on the border of Douglas and Grant Counties. The small community of Mold sits in the northern uplands, marked by the nearby Mold Cem, while the southern reaches show the early 21st-century footprint of Coulee City and the neighboring residential area at Banks Lake South.

Surface water is a defining characteristic of this terrain, from the sprawling reservoir to smaller upland bodies like Sullivan Lake, Tule Lake, and Ludtke Lake. The map reveals a complex system of drainage and relief, including Haynes Canyon and several prominent draws such as Shrock Draw and McDonald Draw. Transport and navigation are anchored by Dry Falls Junction and the local airstrip at Fordair, reflecting the importance of this corridor for both agriculture and regional travel.
