About this map

Bauer Coulee winds through the heart of this Washington landscape, defining the drainage patterns of the high desert plateau in Adams County. This 1967 survey, later photorevised in 1982, reveals a rural grid dominated by expansive dryland farming and a network of arterial roads named for local families. These family names are anchored to specific sites such as Greenwalt, Alter, Melt, and Kasper, which represent key points of interest for genealogists tracing the agricultural history of the region.

Industrial activity is noted by a Gravel Pit and a Borrow Pit, indicating the ongoing development and maintenance of the thoroughfares like Weber Road and Franz Road. The map provides a clear view of the Washington-Adams County line and the scattered placements of isolated wells, reflecting the critical importance of water management in this arid agricultural environment during the late twentieth century.
