About this map

The confluence of the Columbia River and Snake River anchors this 1964 survey, highlighting the mid-century industrial and logistical growth of Pasco and Kennewick. The landscape is defined by the Lake Wallula reservoir, with underwater contours provided by the Army Corps of Engineers. Significant urban expansion is noted in purple, reflecting the development of the Port of Pasco Industrial Park and the sprawling residential blocks of South Highlands.

Rail infrastructure is dominated by the Burlington Northern lines, which connect small settlements like Ainsworth Junction and Hedges. Local history is preserved in the locations of numerous community schools, including River View Sch and Fruitland Sch, alongside established landmarks like City View Cem and Sacajawea State Park. The map also captures the agricultural fringes, where irrigation canals and grain elevators support the local economy near Finley.
