1954 Map of Bruce

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Northern Pacific rail lines dominate the agricultural landscape of this central Washington plateau, connecting the rural sidings of Bruce and Koren. The infrastructure of the Columbia Basin Project is evident through the winding path of the East Low Canal, which utilizes a series of embankments and the Kansas Prairie Siphon to navigate the undulating terrain. To the south, the broad expanse of Paradise Flats transitions into a complex of coulees and breaks. Small-scale industrial and agricultural markers, including a Quarry, a Water Tank, and a scattered Windmill, reveal a landscape undergoing transformation through large-scale irrigation and railway transport during the mid-1950s.
