1956 Map of Sieler

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal path through this Grant County landscape, connecting the small rail stops of Sieler and McDonald. The map reveals an intensive water management system critical to local agriculture, dominated by the East Low Canal and a network of siphons and pipelines that draw from Lind Coulee. This infrastructure supported industrial operations like the Sugar Beet Refinery in the northern reaches, while the Base Line Road provided a primary east-west corridor for the region's early automotive era. To the west, the shifting topography of the Sand Dunes stands in stark contrast to the surveyed irrigation plots. Local social landmarks include a Drive-in Theater and a lone Cemetery, providing specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the mid-century development of the Columbia Basin.
