1978 Map of Columbia Point

About this map

Columbia River waters meet at the confluence of the Yakima River just south of Columbia Point, marking a landscape defined by intensive late-20th-century irrigation and flood control. The vast Lake Wallula reservoir dominates the lower portion of the sheet, where recreational areas like Columbia Park and Chiwana Park neighbor Bateman Island. The surrounding terrain transitions from the developed streets of Riverview and the Trailer Park to the undulating Sand Dunes that characterize the arid interior.
