About this map

Sylvan Lake and the winding course of Crab Cr anchor this high-plateau landscape in Eastern Washington. The settlement of Nemo is positioned near the northern portion of the map, situated amidst a grid of rural roads that often bear the names of local pioneer families, such as Heimbigner Rd E, Hardung Rd E, and Zieler Rd E. The topography is defined by the sharp basalt coulees and drainage systems of the Channeled Scablands, evidenced by the path of Coal Cr as it cuts through the undulating terrain.

The boundary between Lincoln Co and Adams Co runs across the southern portion of the sheet, dividing a landscape largely dedicated to dryland farming and ranching. Genealogists and local historians will find the inclusion of Lamona Cemetery Rd E and other family-named corridors like Yarwood Rd N useful for pinpointing ancestral homesteads in this sparsely populated region during the early 21st century.
