About this map

Soap Lake defines the southwestern corner of this landscape, its shoreline bordered by the residential grid of the town and Lakeview Park. This 2014 survey reveals the distinct transition from the established community at the water's edge to the high desert terrain of the Coulee Corridor. The topography rises sharply toward the north and east, marked by significant elevations like High Hill and the long expanse of Pinto Ridge.

A network of section-line roads such as Road A NE and Road 20 NE crisscrosses the basalt-carved landscape, connecting the lakefront to the small settlement of Adrian in the southeast. This area is characterized by dramatic geological features, including the winding Dry Coulee and the path of Crab Cr, which demonstrate the prehistoric glacial scouring of the region. Local travel and commerce are anchored by Wa-17 and Wa-28, which intersect near the Smokiam Campground.
