1964 Map of Almota

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Snake River canyon walls dominate this 1964 survey, which was updated in 1975 to reflect the massive infrastructure changes brought by the completion of the Lower Granite Dam. The landscape shows the transition from a natural river valley to a series of reservoirs, with Lake Bryan and Lower Granite Lake flooding former landmarks like Log Cabin Island and Davis Bar. The settlement of Almota sits at the confluence of Almota Creek, while higher elevation reaches like Mayview and Illia mark the upland grain-growing regions. Steep canyon grades, including the Wawawai Grade and Hungate Road, illustrate the challenging transport network required to move goods between the river docks and the high plateaus. Genealogists can locate family-named features such as Mays Cemetery and Lambie Road, while industrial interests are noted at the Powerhouse and various breakwater installations.
