1968 Map of Sylvan Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Sylvan Lake defines the central basin of this landscape at the border of Lincoln and Adams counties. The mid-century map documents a transition in regional transport as the Burlington Northern railroad corridor follows the valley of Coal Creek through the small settlement of Nemo. This area of eastern Washington is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including Crab Creek and several isolated wells, which support the sparsely populated agricultural terrain. Local infrastructure is reflected in a series of named rural thoroughfares such as Davis Road, Nielson Road, and Schoonover Road. The map also captures the industrial footprint of the era, including a significant Pipeline crossing the northern hills and several strategically placed Gravel Pits and borrow pits near the rail and water routes.
