About this map

Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific tracks dominate the northern half of this landscape, tracing the sinuous path of Rock Creek through Whitman County. The topography is defined by complex drainage systems and coulee-like formations, with Texas Draw and Mason Draw cutting through the western sections toward the namesake Texas Lake. Small clusters of activity are marked at Imbler and Nelson, while several scattered storage bins and a Landing Area indicate the agricultural nature of the region in the mid-1960s.

The hydrological character of the area is particularly distinct, featuring a series of smaller water bodies such as Stevens Lake, Duck Lake, and Cherry Cove Lake. A notable natural landmark, Rock Creek Falls, is situated where the creek narrows between steepening banks. The presence of numerous springs and several gravel pits suggests a landscape shaped by both natural water sources and local resource extraction during this era.
