About this map

Lake Sacajawea and the Snake River dominate the northern landscape of this region, serving as the boundary between Franklin and Walla Walla counties. The mid-1960s terrain is defined by the agricultural expanse of Eureka Flat and the intricate transport network required to move grain through the Columbia Basin. Small railway outposts like Hatch, Adkins, and Page are situated along the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific lines, underscoring the era's reliance on rail for commerce. Near the river, the presence of Sand Dunes and multiple Gravel Pits reflects the area's geomorphology, while the Grain Elevator at Hatch and a nearby Landing Strip illustrate the specialized infrastructure of a mid-century Pacific Northwest farming community. This survey also records the path of several named local routes including Van Hollebeke Rd and Page Road.
