1948 Map of Grand Coulee Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Grand Coulee Dam dominates this 1948 survey, standing as the centerpiece of a transformed landscape just years after its completion. The impounded waters of Franklin D Roosevelt Lake fill the canyon of the Columbia River, bordered to the north by the Colville Indian Reservation. This map captures the immediate post-war development around the dam site, including the town of Coulee Dam and the growing settlements of Grand Coulee and Elmer City.
