1992 Map of Pasco

About this map

Lake Wallula dominates the center of this 1990s-era map, where the Columbia River and Snake River converge. The industrial and transportation identity of the Tri-Cities is evident in the extensive rail lines of the Burlington Northern and Union Pacific, which serve the Port of Pasco Industrial Park and waterfront facilities like the Port of Kennewick. This map documents a developed landscape of established neighborhoods and civic institutions, featuring Lourdes Hospital, the County Fairgrounds, and numerous schools such as Stevens Jr High Sch and Columbia High Sch. Beyond the urban centers of Pasco and Kennewick, the landscape transitions to the agricultural and utility-focused outskirts of Finley and Hedges, where a network of aqueducts, flumes, and pumping stations supports the region's land use. The ecological importance of the river system is preserved at Sacajawea State Park and the McNary National Wildlife Refuge.
