2020 Map of Shano

About this map

Shano sits at the intersection of rural thoroughfares in this modern-era study of the Washington wheat country. The landscape is defined by the agricultural engineering of the Columbia Basin Project, prominently featuring the East Low Canal and the Scooteney Wasteway. These water systems cut across the undulating terrain of Paradise Flats, illustrating the intricate irrigation network that transformed the high desert. The grid of roads, including Gearhardt Rd and W Hatton Rd, serves a sparsely populated region of Adams County where large-scale farming dominates the local economy. Property boundaries like t16n r31e provide a clear view of the Public Land Survey System as it persists into the twenty-first century.
