About this map

Swanson Lakes and the surrounding coulee landscape of Lincoln County define this portion of the Channeled Scablands. This 2017 survey details a region characterized by numerous small water bodies and seasonal basins, including Flat Lake, Phillips Lake, and the elongated Coffeepot Lake at the southern margin. The terrain is marked by structural features like Marlin Hollow and the local landmark Rock Cut Bridge.

Rural access is provided by a network of descriptive local routes such as Seven Springs Dairy Rd and Coffee Pot Rd E. The map illustrates the complex hydrography of the area, where isolated lakes like Wills Lake and Willow Lake sit within a topography shaped by ancient glacial floods. This modern record serves as a precise baseline for studying the shifting water levels and land use patterns in this specific corner of Washington's interior.
