1956 Map of Moses Lake NW

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Moses Lake dominates the central landscape of this 1956 field-checked survey, captured during a period of significant hydraulic engineering in central Washington. The northern reach of the lake is fed by Rocky Ford Creek, while the surrounding terrain is defined by the broad depressions of Hiawatha Valley and Mae Valley. A notable insight into the era's development is the presence of a canal under construction in the northwest, part of the Bureau of Reclamation's irrigation efforts to transform the arid shrub-steppe into productive farmland.
