2023 Map of Wheeler

About this map

The waters of Moses Lake and the industrial-agricultural corridor of Wheeler dominate this 2023 survey of Grant County. This landscape is a complex intersection of natural geology and massive irrigation infrastructure, evidenced by the East Low Canal and the Rocky Coulee Wasteway cutting through the terrain. The map captures the organized grid of the Columbia Basin Project, where a dense network of roads like Rd 11 NE and Bacon Ln NE serves the scattered farmsteads and agricultural plots. Notable local history is preserved at Ottmar Cem and Guarding Angels Cem, while modern transportation is anchored by the Moses Lake Municipal Airport. The varied topography is defined by ancient drainage features including Black Rock Coulee and Sand Coulee, which contrast with the straight lines of the man-made canals and the small settlement of Mitchell.
