1974 Map of Maiden Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Hanford Works occupies the eastern portion of this mid-1970s survey, marked by restricted access boundaries that contrast with the open agricultural and grazing land to the west. This arid landscape in the Rattlesnake Hills is defined by its critical water sources, including Maiden Spring, Joe Spring, and Railroad Spring, which likely supported early livestock operations. Evidence of rural infrastructure is found at Bennett Ranch, which is supported by a Grain Elevator and a dedicated Landing Strip. The presence of several named springs and the seasonal drainages of Sulphur Creek and Rattlesnake Cr reflect the challenges of managing land in this high-desert environment of Benton County. Deep cut features like Black Canyon and numerous jeep trails suggest a landscape used for both utility and remote resource management during the Cold War era.
