2020 Map of Glade

About this map

Pasco serves as the focal point of this map, situated in the arid landscape of Franklin County just as the city’s industrial and transportation infrastructure continues to expand northward. The Tri-Cities Airport occupies a significant portion of the southwestern corner, flanked by the residential and agricultural transition seen at Glade. The map captures the complex water management systems of the region, specifically the Esquatzel Diversion Channel and Esquatzel Coulee, which are critical for irrigation and drainage in this dry climate. A grid of rural roads such as Selph Landing Rd and Locust Grove Rd highlights the organized agricultural parcels that define the land north of the city center. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of municipal expansion and the geographic constraints of Lower Smith Canyon, illustrating how the desert terrain has been reshaped by human engineering.
