About this map

The town of Reardan sits at a critical junction of the Sunset Hwy E and W Broadway St, anchoring the southeastern corner of this Lincoln County survey. The landscape is defined by the erosion of the Columbia Plateau, where several prominent coulees and canyons like Smeltzer Canyon, Squaw Canyon, and Tamarack Canyon cut through the terrain. These geographical features, along with the intermittent flow of Crab Cr, dictate the placement of rural homesteads and agricultural roads throughout the region.

Local history is preserved in landmarks such as the Pleasant View Cem and family-named features like Laupp Lake and Gettys Butte. The agricultural character of the area is further evidenced by the Zwainz Farms Airport, while the grid of section lines and gravel roads like Four Corners Rd E and Old State Hwy provides a clear view of the rural settlement patterns typical of the Inland Empire's wheat country.
