1968 Map of Barker Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Banks Lake and the dramatic geological formations of the Grand Coulee dominate this 1968 landscape, reflecting a region transformed by mid-century water reclamation. The topography is defined by the deep incisions of Barker Canyon and Foster Coulee, where numerous water sources like Cold Spring and Wilson Lake dot the arid terrain. The presence of the Grand Coulee Wildlife Recreation Area and Steamboat Rock State Park indicates the shift toward conservation and public use following the creation of the reservoir. Notable landmarks such as Steamboat Rock and Cache Butte provide vertical relief against the expansive water of Upper Banks Lake. Sparse human infrastructure, including a Radio Facility and scattered Gravel Pits, suggests a territory primarily utilized for resource management and recreation rather than dense settlement.
