1981 Map of Delaney

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The confluence of the Tucannon River and Pataha Creek anchors this section of southeastern Washington, where the Union Pacific railroad tracks trace the valley floor through Delaney. This landscape is defined by the dramatic descent from the high Camas Prairie plateau into the deep canyons of the Snake River, now widened into Lake Bryan. The presence of a Grain Elevator at the rail siding in Delaney and the Ridpath siding further north highlights the agricultural infrastructure necessary for transporting dryland wheat from the surrounding hills to the river terminals. Numerous named ravines, such as Flagpole Gulch, Browns Gulch, and Hanger Gulch, carve the terrain, illustrating the complex drainage patterns feeding into the main river systems. Small-scale aviation and industrial activity are evident at the Little Goose Landing Strip and various scattered Quarry sites.
