2011 Map of Washtucna North

About this map

Washtucna sits at the southern edge of this landscape, positioned where the geological carving of Washtucna Coulee meets a network of local transit. The area is characterized by the distinct coulee formations of the Channeled Scablands, including Staley Coulee, which cut through the agricultural high ground of Adams County. To the north, the small settlement of Fletcher and the Kinch Farms Airport serve the surrounding farmland, which is partitioned by a grid of rural roads such as S Benzel Rd and S Haase Rd. Ephemeral water features like Rattlesnake Lake and Bell Lake appear in the depressions of the coulees, while Bassett Spring provides a rare point of reliable water near the town center. The map documents a rural Washington crossroads defined by its unique post-glacial topography and established family farming operations.
