About this map

Lake Wallula and the Columbia River dominate this landscape during a period of significant suburban expansion in the Tri-Cities area. The confluence of the Yakima River near Bateman Island anchors the northern boundary, where the river's edge is lined with parks such as Hawthorne Park and the Riverview Natural Preserve. As the community of Kennewick pushes south and west into the Highlands, the map reveals a maturing infrastructure of education and community life, evidenced by Kamiakin High Sch, Desert Hills Middle Sch, and the Desert Lawn Memorial Park cemetery.

Transportation remains central to the region's identity, with the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern railroads threading through the urban core of Pasco and Kennewick. The presence of Vista Field and the Coliseum signifies the growing civic footprint, while southern reaches like Amon Canyon and Zintel Canyon show the transition from established neighborhoods to the open terrain of Benton County.
