About this map

The Columbia River and Snake River converge in this 2014 study of the Tri-Cities region, revealing a landscape deeply defined by water management and transportation. The meeting of these major waterways is marked by several landforms, including Clover Island, Strawberry Island, and Indian Island. The agricultural and industrial character of the area is evidenced by the complex irrigation network, featuring Columbia Canal Number 1, Columbia Canal Number 2, and Division Four Canal.

Settlement patterns show the expansion of Pasco, Kennewick, and Finley, alongside smaller hubs like Burbank and the rail-oriented Ainsworth Junction. Transportation infrastructure is central to the area's development, with the BNSF Railway and the Port of Pasco facilitating commerce. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of City View Cem and Columbia Memorial Gardens, while the southern reaches show the rural character of Nine Canyon and the Woodfield Airport.
