1956 Map of Grant Orchards

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Grant Orchards (Soap Lake Sta) and the residential cluster of Lakeview Park anchor this mid-century look at Grant County's irrigated landscape. The corridor is defined by the Great Northern railroad, which cuts diagonally across the terrain, serving the agricultural and transit needs of the Columbia Basin. Hydrology dominates the central portion of the map, where Rocky Ford Creek flows southward toward a Substation and a Fish Hatchery located near a series of Springs. This area represents a critical intersection of natural water resources and early industrial development. On the western edge, the Ephrata Municipal Airport and nearby Gravel Pits indicate the growing infrastructure of the era, while Crab Creek meanders through the northeastern corner, framed by the local Bluff.
