2011 Map of Moses Lake South

About this map

Moses Lake and the smaller settlement of Westlake anchor the northern portion of this landscape, where the town's grid extends toward the complex shorelines of several large islands. The hydrology of the area is defined by massive water management projects, specifically the Moses Lake North Dam and Moses Lake South Dam, which regulate the flow into the extensive Potholes Reservoir to the south. This transition from a developed lakeside community to a more arid, topographical desert environment is most evident in the No-Outlet Sand Hills, a feature-sparse region that contrasts sharply with the residential streets like W Lakeside Dr and Jonathan Rd NE. The map documents the intricate relationship between the desert geography of Grant County and the engineered water systems that sustain the modern community.
