About this map

Pasco serves as the primary urban center for this Franklin County landscape, showing the city's northward expansion toward the settlement of Glade. The map captures a high-desert environment shaped by infrastructure and aviation, centered on the Tri-Cities Airport and the campus of Columbia Basin College. The transport network is particularly dense here, where N Railroad Ave and major thoroughfares like Pasco-Kahlotus Road intersect with the agricultural grid of the Columbia Basin.

Beyond the developed industrial and residential sectors of the south, the topography transitions into the distinctive drainage patterns of Esquatzel Coulee and Lower Smith Canyon. Roads such as Locust Grove Rd and Foster Wells Rd carve through a landscape of large-scale agriculture and feed lots, illustrating the region's reliance on irrigation and modern land management during the early twenty-first century.
