About this map

Nemo sits in the northwest corner of this eastern Washington landscape, positioned along the banks of Coal Cr as it flows toward the expansive Sylvan Lake. The terrain is characterized by a series of coulees and seasonal watercourses, including Crab Cr, which drains the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 2017 survey reveals a rural landscape structured by an extensive grid of local roads, many bearing the names of established ranching and farming families such as Laney Brothers Rd E, King Ranch Rd E, and Heimbigner Rd E.

The map captures the border between Lincoln and Adams Counties at its southern edge, where Davis Rd marks the boundary line. The network of roads, including Coyote Heights Rd N and Schoonover Rd, provides a clear view of land division and property access in this agricultural region, highlighting how the natural topography of the channeled scablands has influenced the placement of transportation routes and the small settlement at Nemo.
