About this map

The settlement of Schrag sits at the western edge of this agricultural landscape in Adams County, defined by a rigid grid of rural roads and the drainage patterns of the Columbia Plateau. In this early 21st-century survey, the intersection of W Urquhart Rd and W Schrag Rd marks the center of local activity, while the massive infrastructure of the interstate corridor cuts a straight line through the northern half of the township.

Remote farmsteads are connected by long-stretching routes such as N Batum Rd, W Weber Rd, and N Roxboro Rd. The map illustrates the specialized land-use patterns of the region, where the dryland wheat country is punctuated by intermittent drainages and the occasional junction. Significant arterial roads like W Harder Rd and W Franz Rd provide insight into the logistics and transportation network of this high-desert farming community.
