About this map

Reardan sits at the western edge of this 1970s landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural community where the Burlington Northern railroad cuts across the plateau. The map details a transition from the wheat-growing plains of eastern Lincoln County into the basalt-coulee terrain of Spokane County. This agrarian character is emphasized by the presence of Grain Elevators, Storage Bins, and a local Landing Strip supporting farming operations.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant family and civic landmarks, including the Spring Creek Cem and multiple locations for the Grange Hall. The rugged topography is defined by Shoemaker Butte and Grays Butte, while the drainage system of Deep Creek and its North Fork Deep Creek carves through the coulees. A dense network of rural roads, such as Hite Road and Waukon Road, connects various Gravel Pits and homesteads across the county line.
