About this map

Swan Lake Valley dominates this mid-1980s landscape, characterized by a complex network of springs and intermittent water bodies. The eastern portion of the map is defined by the Swan Lake Valley floor, including an extensive area subject to inundation and numerous spoil banks. To the west, the terrain rises sharply toward Hogback Mountain and Twomile Ridge, which overlook the blue waters of Whiteline Reservoir.

Genealogists and local historians will find several family-named landmarks and historical sites, including the Gabriel Cem and Hibbert Cemetery. Small-scale land use is evident through features like the Anderson settlement, a Cinder Pit, and several clusters of grain tanks. The importance of water management in this arid region is highlighted by the high density of named water sources such as Janssen Spring, Cold Spring, and Chitwood Spring.
