1964 Map of Levey SW

About this map

Sand Dunes dominate the northeastern portion of this Franklin County landscape, illustrating the arid and shifting terrain typical of the region before extensive irrigation. Infrastructure in the mid-1960s was centered on the Spokane Portland and Seattle railroad corridor and the Pasco Kahlotus Road, which served as the primary transit arteries through the open country. Local utility and agricultural needs are evidenced by scattered features such as a Well Water Tank, a Dry Well, and a Gravel Pit. The map captures a moment when the area remained largely defined by its natural topography and resource extraction, with a network of Jeep Trails and minor roads like Rogers Road and Martindale Road providing access to the interior. A prominent Pipeline also traverses the quadrangle, highlighting the industrial connectivity of the rural Pacific Northwest.
