2017 Map of Ruff

About this map

Ruff and Moody anchor this high-plateau landscape along the Grant and Adams County line. The terrain is defined by dry drainage features characteristic of the region, specifically the significant depressions of Sand Coulee, Rocky Branch Coulee, and Rocky Coulee. This 2017 survey reveals a strictly organized grid of agricultural access roads, including W Griffith Rd, W Tokio Rd, and W Rehn Rd, which partition the land into large-scale farming blocks. The topographic data captures the subtle elevation changes of the coulees as they cut through the agricultural plains, providing a clear view of the land-use patterns in this part of Washington's interior before modern developments might further alter the historic survey lines of the Public Land Survey System.
