About this map

Fishtrap and Tyler anchor this landscape along the Lincoln Co Spokane Co boundary, where the drainage of Rock Creek and Hog Canyon Creek shapes the geography. The map reveals a transition from wetland meadows like Moreland Meadow and Bennett Meadow to localized water bodies including Alderman Lake, Ames Lake, and the distinctly named Turtle Hole. A robust network of local roads, such as W Drumheller Rd and S Columbia Basin Hwy, connects these outlying settlements to the surrounding timber and grazing lands.

Local history is preserved at the Rockdale Cem on the western edge of the quadrangle, serving as a point of interest for genealogists tracing families in this rural corridor. Distinctive landmarks like Jones Curve and the complex of small lakes near Hog Lake illustrate the unique topography of the Channeled Scablands region, where geological forces left behind a series of depressions and drainage patterns that still dictate land use today.
