1967 Map of Schrag

About this map

Bauer Coulee and Farrier Coulee define the topography of this central Washington landscape, where the Northern Pacific railway cuts through the settlement of Schrag. The late 1960s environment is primarily agricultural, marked by a systematic grid of family-named thoroughfares including Franz Road, Leisle Road, and Batum Road. Evidence of localized infrastructure is found at the Grain Elevator and a dedicated Landing Strip, while the mention of Mennonite at a hilltop site near Weber Road suggests specific communal roots. This survey captures the transition of the region's dryland farming and transportation networks, illustrated by the various gravel and borrow pits that supported the development of the rural road system across the Adams County line.
