2017 Map of Steamboat Rock SE

About this map

Steamboat Rock and the monolithic Gibraltar Rock dominate the northern landscape of this Columbia Basin terrain, situated within the Grand Coulee complex. The waters of Banks Lake border the western edge of the quadrangle, where Coulee Blvd follows the shoreline past Whitney Canyon and Martin Falls. The geography here transitions from the dramatic verticality of Northrup Canyon into a systematic grid of agricultural and rural roads further south, including Devils Creek Rd and Rd 48 NE. This 2017 survey shows a quiet rural landscape punctuated by small water bodies like Willow Lake, Henning Lakes, and Coffee Lake. For genealogists and local historians, the Saint Johns Cem stands as a primary landmark in the southern plateau, while drainage features such as Rusho Cr, Devils Cr, and Lower Lewis Cr trace the natural runoff patterns toward the Paynes Gulch area.
