1964 Map of Almota

About this map

The Snake River carves a deep path through the plateau of southeastern Washington, separating Whitman and Garfield counties in this mid-1960s survey. The landscape is defined by steep descents from the high wheat-growing plains to the river floor, marked by a network of winding access routes including Almota Grade, Wawawai Grade, and Lambie Grade. Small river-bottom communities and landings like Almota and Wawawai are visible before the completion of Lower Granite Dam significantly altered the river's shoreline.
