1967 Map of Ritzville SW

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Ritzville serves as the focal point in the northeast corner of this 1960s landscape, where the basalt-carved topography of Adams County reveals a pattern of dry coulees and agricultural development. The Burlington Northern railroad follows the natural grade of Paha Coulee, cutting diagonally across the terrain toward the settlement of Paha. This map illustrates the transition from the municipal center and its Municipal Airport to the outlying sections defined by large-scale farming and family-named routes such as Heineman Road and Sackman Road. The presence of the Paha Cem and the seasonal waters of Mc Elroy Lake reflect the rural heritage and environmental constraints of this region. South of the main rail line, the land is marked by the winding path of Mc Elroy Coulee and a persistent network of unpaved tracks and a Jeep Trail, indicating the more isolated nature of the coulee country.
