2017 Map of Sagebrush Flat

About this map

Sagebrush Flat dominates this high-plateau landscape along the border of Douglas Co and Grant Co. The terrain is characterized by a series of planned residential loops and spurs that cut through the shrub-steppe, bearing names that evoke a western frontier character. These developments, such as Rattler Loop, Settler Ln, and Whiffletree Way, follow a geometric grid typical of modern rural subdivision in the Columbia Basin. The network of roads, including Branding Iron Dr and Cornucopia Dr, illustrates the transition of this open space into a residential community. The topography is marked by subtle elevation changes and coulee-like features, showing the specialized land use patterns in this part of Washington during the early 21st century.
