About this map

Scattered springs and rugged utility define this 1969 landscape in Lincoln County. The terrain is marked by essential infrastructure of the era, such as a Water Tank and industrial extraction sites including a Borrow Pit and Gravel Pit. These features suggest a working landscape where resources were managed for local use or road maintenance.

Surface transportation is primarily facilitated by a network of Jeep Trails that traverse the coulee-cut topography. This survey, conducted by the Geological Survey using photogrammetric methods, documents the rural character of Washington before more modern development reached this specific quadrangle. The numerous unnamed springs located throughout the area indicate a reliance on natural water sources in this dry inland environment.
