1956 Map of Moses Lake

About this map

Larson Air Force Base dominates the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, its expansive military footprint situated just north of the intricate shorelines of Moses Lake. The map details a period of significant regional development, showing the transition from agricultural tracts like Hiawatha Valley to the growing residential areas of Westlake and Cascade Valley. The southern portion of the sheet is defined by the massive Potholes Reservoir and the extensive Sand Dunes, illustrating the profound impact of the Columbia Basin Project's irrigation works on the local geography.
