1953 Map of Reardan

About this map

Reardan sits at the nexus of the Sunset Highway and the Northern Pacific railroad, serving as a primary hub in eastern Lincoln County during the early 1950s. The landscape is defined by the transitions between the wheat-growing scablands and the intermittent flow of Crab Creek and Deep Creek. While larger towns like Edwall and Espanola mark the rail corridors, the surrounding countryside is dotted with community centers such as Spring Creek Grange and Waukon Grange, reflecting the vital social fabric of rural Washington at mid-century.
