About this map

Moses Lake dominates the central portion of this landscape, its shoreline defining the development patterns of the early 21st century in this part of Grant County. The topography reveals the transition from the distinct Hiawatha Valley in the south to the more developed corridors along Wa-17 and Neppel Rd NE. The settlement of Mae Valley sits at the edge of this transition, reflecting the localized community growth common to the region.

Evidence of irrigation and land management is visible through features like Canal W 20, while the rigid grid of county roads, such as Drumheller Rd and Division Rd N, contrasts with the winding paths of Stonecrest Dr NE and Panorama Dr NE near the water. This 2014 survey captures the area at a point of continued residential expansion near the lake, balanced against the broad agricultural and geographic expanse of the surrounding high desert terrain.
