1968 Map of Sims Corner

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Sims Corner serves as the focal point for this dry, high-plateau landscape in central Washington during the late 1960s. The topography is defined by the sharp transition into the Grand Coulee, where the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation mapped underwater contours for Banks Lake in the years following the massive mid-century irrigation projects. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the era, from the small Mold settlement to the Sims Corner Reservoir and scattered water sources like Horse Lake and Ludtke Lake. Extensive fencing indicated by red dashed lines suggests a landscape dominated by ranching and large-scale land divisions. The presence of several Borrow Pits and a Gravel Pit along the roads reflects the ongoing maintenance of the regional transportation network through this portion of Douglas and Grant counties.
