1956 Map of Moses Lake South
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The expansive Potholes Reservoir and the southern reaches of Moses Lake dominate this mid-century landscape, illustrating the profound transformation of the Columbia Basin. The map details the intricate interplay of water and desert, where Crab Creek winds through extensive Sand Dunes before reaching the reservoir. Cultural development is concentrated at the northern edge, where the community of Westlake and several educational institutions, including the Chief Moses Jr H S and Peninsula School, signal the post-war growth of the region.
