About this map

The Hanford Site Habitat Management Area dominates this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating the controlled land use surrounding the nuclear production facility. The terrain is defined by the sharp descent of the Wahluke Slope, where agricultural infrastructure meets restricted zones. Water management is central to the area's geography, with the Wahluke Branch Canal and various wasteways cutting through the arid Franklin County soil. Evidence of earlier industrial efforts is visible in the Old RR Grade and a remaining trestle, marking former transport routes across the plateau. Scattered utility markers like a substation, transmission lines, and multiple pumps reflect the heavy engineering required to manage both power and water in this corner of Washington, while a spoil bank and levee show the physical modification of the Wahluke terrain.
