2018 Map of Washburn SW

About this map

The Missouri River cuts a wide path through the southern half of this landscape, marking the natural boundary where McLean and Oliver Counties meet. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by the sweeping bends of the river and the carved drainage of Coal Lake Coulee in the northeast. The region remains predominantly rural, organized by the grid of the Public Land Survey System including portions of townships t145n r83w and t144n r83w. Local history is anchored by small, isolated landmarks such as the Birka Lutheran Cem in the northwest and the Conklin Cem near the center of the quadrangle. These sites, along with a network of county roads like Co Hwy 19 and Co Hwy 20, provide the primary points of reference across an open prairie and river-bottom environment.
