About this map

Lake Wallula dominates the northern and western margins of this landscape, a result of the regional hydroelectric and navigation system that shaped the Columbia and Snake River confluence. The map details the transition from irrigated agricultural lands to riverside settlements like Burbank Heights and Burbank. Further south, the map identifies Villard Junction and Two Rivers, points that reflect the area's rail and water transport legacy. Numerous named islands, such as Strawberry Island, Casey Island, and Tanglefoot Island, dot the water, while the inland area is marked by water management features like the High Lift Canal and the Iowa Beef Processors Waste Pond. This map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure and land use in Franklin and Walla Walla counties in the early 21st century.
