2011 Map of Ritzville NW

About this map

Ritzville serves as the primary hub in this portion of Adams County, where the grid of city streets like N Columbia St and N Division St gives way to the expansive agricultural landscape of the Columbia Plateau. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south and east-west rural routes that connect outlying points of interest such as Marcellus, Packard, and Schafer. These small locales are linked by family-named thoroughfares including N Paha Packard Rd, N Bauer Rd, and N Thiel Rd, reflecting the heritage of early settlers in this dryland farming region. South of the main settlement, the Ritzville Municipal Airport and Memorial Cemetery stand as distinct landmarks amidst the rectangular section-line road network that characterizes the development of Washington’s wheat country.
