1953 Map of Elephant Mountain

About this map

The Moxee Valley serves as a vital corridor for water management infrastructure in this mid-century survey, flanked by the prominent heights of Elephant Mountain and the Rattlesnake Hills. The landscape is defined by the massive irrigation and transport systems required for the arid environment, featuring the Roza Canal, Hanford Aqueduct, and Roza Aqueduct. These systems are punctuated by specialized engineering features like siphons, a flume, and a pumping station that supported the agricultural expansion of the region.
