1966 Map of Monument Hill

About this map

Beezley Hills dominate the topography of this Grant County landscape, providing a dramatic vertical backdrop to the agricultural and infrastructure developments of the mid-1960s. The region is defined by deep incisions like Lynch Coulee, which shaped the placement of local transport routes including Baird Springs Road. The map reveals a working landscape where utility and communication take precedence, evidenced by the Radio Tower (KPOR) and a Landing Strip positioned on the flatter plains below the hills. Named settlements and landmarks like Baird Springs and Lynch provide specific points of interest for local historians, while scattered infrastructure such as a Storage Bin and various Gravel Pits illustrate the local economy. The network of unimproved roads like Overen Road and Monument Road trace the paths used by residents and workers during this era of Washington's development.
