About this map

Omans serves as a focal point for the agricultural landscape of this eastern Washington region, defined by the winding course of Crab Creek and its tributary, Bluestem Creek. The map documents a rural economy tied closely to the land and its resources, evident in the prominent Grain Elevators and Storage Bins that anchor the small settlement. These structures, alongside several Gravel Pits scattered near the creek beds, reflect the primary industrial activities of the late 1960s.

The topography is marked by a series of coulees and draws typical of the Inland Empire, with a significant Pipeline cutting across the southern portion of the terrain. This survey, while revised in the early 1990s, preserves the mid-century infrastructure of the Washington-Lincoln Co. border area, offering a clear view of the relationship between the drainage systems and the developed transport and storage facilities of the era.
