About this map

Winchester and its surrounding high desert landscape are documented here during a period of early 20th-century agrarian development in Grant County. The Great Northern RR cuts across the northwest corner of the quadrangle, providing the primary industrial link for this rural landscape. The settlement pattern is defined by a sparse but organized network of roads serving isolated farmsteads and small communities like Morrison. A striking feature of this era's social geography is the distribution of local education centers, including Sunny Slope School, Mt Olive School, Dishaw School, Morrison School, and McEwen School. These schools, often the only landmarks for several miles, indicate the scattered nature of pioneer families attempting to establish themselves in the semi-arid central Washington terrain before the advent of widespread irrigation projects.
