I had to do some navigating of backroads in Okanogan County. One road I took was called Split Rock Road. It was not until I reached the far end (or near end depending on where one starts) that I understood the name of the road. Made total sense.
The rock was sitting atop one of several glacial terraces and is a glacial ice transported rock. It is a local rock so does not meet the technical definition of 'erratic'. The rock is Tonasket Banded Gneiss, part of the Okanogan Metamorphic Core Complex of north central Washington.

I've never heard the Havillah/Chesaw road called "Split Rock Road." Unless that's a different split boulder....
Spilt Rock is a gravel road that connects to Havillah Road. The rock is at the intersection.
Ah, that road. I always thought that was someone's long driveway.
