2023 Map of Sassin

About this map

Rock Creek winds through the central plateau of Lincoln County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape marked by basalt coulees and agricultural road networks. The topographic detail reveals a region shaped by ice-age floods, where Hampton Creek and smaller drainages like those near Reiha Pond cut through the scablands. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of three distinct burial grounds: the Edwall Cem and Edwall Catholic Cem in the north, and the Stockdale Cem to the east. These sites, along with names like Sassin Station Rd N, point to the early pioneer settlements and rail-stop history of this portion of the Inland Empire. The section lines of T23N and T22N organize a grid of family-named routes, including Wollweber Rd N and Merkel Rd N, which connect isolated farmsteads across the rolling terrain.
