About this map

Burlington Northern and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific rail lines intersect in this corner of Grant County, marking a high point of mid-century agricultural logistics. Small rail settlements like Tiflis and Bassett Junction anchor a landscape defined by the massive irrigation efforts of the Columbia Basin Project, most notably the East Low Canal. The map reveals the intricate engineering required to move water across the scablands, including a significant Siphon and multiple wastelays that feed into Weber Coulee and Lind Coulee.
