1969 Map of China Bend

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Lake Roosevelt dominates this reach of the Upper Columbia, where the reservoir fills the canyon within the Franklin D Roosevelt National Recreation Area. The landscape is a study in 1960s river-and-rail geography, as the Burlington Northern railroad tracks skirt the eastern shore, connecting small riverfront points like Marble and the eponymous China Bend. This area reflects a mid-century transition from a frontier mining and timber economy to a federally managed recreational landscape.
