About this map

Black Rock Lake rests in the center of this landscape in the early 21st century, surrounded by the high plateaus of Grant County. The area is defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, as shown by township markings such as t21n r30e and t22n r30e. This survey captures the rural character of the region, where the vast open spaces are partitioned by a network of gravel and dirt routes including Road 19 NE and 16 NE Rd. The contour lines illustrate the complex coulees and elevation changes that characterize this part of Washington, revealing how the geography dictated the placement of these section-line roads. This map serves as a detailed record of land use and topographic relief in a sparsely populated agricultural and ranching environment.
