1965 Map of Beverly NE

About this map

Frenchman Hills dominate the northern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, illustrating a period of significant agricultural and utility development in Grant County. The map documents the engineering of the Columbia Basin Project, with an Aqueduct, Canal, and multiple Siphons cutting through the terrain to transform the Royal Slope. This irrigation infrastructure is anchored by the Sand Hollow Pumping Station and the Jericho Substation, showing the transition of this arid region into a managed agricultural corridor. Local transit is defined by a network of straight-line section roads including Beverly Burke Road and Adams Road. The presence of a U S Mil Res in the southeast and a scattered Mine and Borrow Pit indicate the diverse land use, from military reservation to resource extraction, during this era of Washington's interior growth.
