1965 Map of Hanford

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Columbia River carves through the center of this map, separating the restricted Hanford Works (A E C) from the agricultural stretches of the Wahluke Slope. Revised during the mid-1960s, the map documents the infrastructure of the nuclear age, including the U S Government Railroad and the Radio Facility atop Gable Mountain. The river itself is dominated by large landforms like Locke Island and Savage Island, while the eastern banks reveal established irrigation routes such as the Hanford Ditch. Scattered industrial and transit nodes like May Junction and Pierce appear alongside remnant settlement names like White Bluffs and Hanford. The landscape is a stark contrast between the industrial security of the atomic works and the natural terrain of the White Bluffs and shifting Sand Dunes to the southeast.
