1966 Map of Babcock Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Babcock Bench and the dramatic basalt cliffs overlooking the Columbia River dominate this mid-century landscape in Grant County. The area reflects a complex water management and industrial network, featuring a massive siphon system, the Babcock Pumping Sta, and the Evergreen Reservoir. The Great Northern railroad skirts the northern edge of the map near the settlement of Trinidad, while the arid coulee terrain to the south is dotted with a chain of small water bodies including Ancient Lake, Judith Pool, and Dusty Lake. This 1966 field-checked survey highlights the contrast between the recreational development at Crescent Bar Recreation Area and the industrial activity indicated by the Industrial Waste Ponds and a nearby mine, capturing the region as it balanced natural resource management with emerging leisure sites.
