About this map

The Snake River and Columbia River converge in this 2020 landscape, defining a complex network of waterways, islands, and riverfront settlements at the junction of Franklin, Walla Walla, and Benton Counties. The northern reach is dominated by the flow past Martindale and the Columbia Plateau State Park Trail, which follows the northern bank of the river. To the south, Lake Wallula opens up, punctuated by Strawberry Island and Goose Island.

Residential developments such as Burbank Heights and Burbank sit near the confluence, where the Burbank Slough and Homly Channel create a unique riparian environment. Further south, the map details industrial and transit points like Villard Junction and Two Rivers, along with numerous managed water bodies including Quarry Pond, Casey Pond, and J Line Pond. This record of the Columbia Basin shows the modern configuration of these vital river systems and the communities that line their shores.
