1981 Map of Washtucna South

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Washtucna sits at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape where the Adams Co Franklin Co line divides the terrain. The town's location was historically dictated by the geography of the Washtucna Coulee, a significant dry channel that serves as a natural corridor for major transportation. In the early 1980s, this corridor remained a vital artery, occupied by both the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern railroads. To the south, the map reveals a rugged ranching environment characterized by isolated operations like the H U Ranch and Davin Ranch. Water is a scarce and precious resource in this basalt-carved country, marked by occasional features like Deep Lake and scattered springs. The presence of the Washtucna Airport and various Storage Bins underscores the region's focus on agricultural logistics and civil aviation during this era.
