2020 Map of Wilson Creek NW

About this map

Billy Clapp Lake and Brook Lake define the western edge of this landscape in the Columbia Basin, where the plateau surface is deeply carved by drainage systems. The watercourse of Crab Creek winds through the central terrain, eventually leading toward the small settlement of Wilson Creek at the eastern margin. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and rural roads, such as Kappel Rd and RD 22 Ne, which navigate the coulees and basalt formations characteristic of Grant County. This 2020 survey illustrates how modern infrastructure and water management systems interface with the distinct geological patterns of the Scablands, providing a clear view of the land divisions and remote transport routes that support the region's agricultural and hydrologic life.
