1969 Map of Swanson Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Swanson Lakes and the surrounding coulee terrain of Lincoln County dominate this 1960s landscape, characterized by numerous scabland water bodies and seasonal springs. The map documents the intricate geological depressions of Marlin Hollow and the scattered lake systems that define the Channeled Scablands. A network of unimproved routes and a Jeep Trail provide the primary access through this sparsely settled region, where the economy was tied to remote ranching and land management. Researchers can trace the varied hydrology of the area through labels like Wall Lake, Twin Lakes, and Rock Lake, alongside numerous unnamed springs and wells. The inclusion of localized landmarks such as a Gravel Pit and several fence lines, marked by fine red dashed lines, offers a granular view of rural land use and boundary marking in central Washington during the late twentieth century.
