1956 Map of Moses Lake

About this map

Larson Air Force Base dominates the northern shoreline of Moses Lake in this mid-century survey, reflecting the era's significant military footprint in Grant County. The map details the complex finger-like geography of the lake's northern reaches, including Lewis Horn, Parker Horn, and Marsh Horn, which shaped the early development of the city of Moses Lake. Residential growth is evident in established neighborhoods like Knolls Vista and Cascade Valley, while the southern portion of the sheet reveals the extensive Sand Dunes and the northern edge of the Potholes Reservoir.
