1969 Map of Rocklyn

About this map

The Rocklyn Grain Elevator stands as a focal point of agrarian infrastructure on the eastern Washington plains, marking the small settlement of Rocklyn during the late 1960s. This survey illustrates a landscape defined by the transition from the broad, open reaches of Bachelor Prairie to the deeply incised drainage of Hawk Creek. The transport of wheat and other dryland crops is facilitated by the Burlington Northern railroad, which cuts a straight path across the southern half of the map.
