1967 Map of Ritzville SW

About this map

Ritzville stands at the northeastern corner of this Adams County landscape, where the Northern Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line toward the southwest. The terrain is defined by the distinct dry-waterway carving of Paha Coulee and the broader Mc Elroy Coulee, which contains the intermittent Mc Elroy Lake. This 1960s survey illustrates a region shaped by large-scale agricultural transit and family-named infrastructure. The settlement of Paha serves as a local node, marked by the nearby Paha Cem and several private roads including Dewald Road and Urquhart Road. Evidence of the area's aviation and industrial history is visible through the Municipal Airport near Ritzville and a Gravel Pit located further south along the tracks, reflecting a landscape centered on transport and resource management.
