1986 Map of Gable Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Hanford Site (DOE) dominates this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating the heavy industrial and utility infrastructure of the Department of Energy’s operations in Benton County. The map reveals an intricate network of transmission lines and numerous Radio Towers supporting the site's complex communication needs. Significant geological elevations like Gable Mountain and Gable Butte rise above the terrain, which is otherwise marked by utilitarian features such as a Substation, Fire Station, and various Borrow Pits. Historically interesting clusters like Helen, Susie, Ethel, Pearl, and Willa suggest localized named points within the security-controlled zone. The presence of a Siphon and multiple gravel pits underscores the active land management and resource extraction required for the facility’s maintenance and development during this era of nuclear research and production.
