About this map

The confluence of the Columbia River and the Yakima River defines the landscape of this 2017 study of the Tri-Cities region. The urban footprints of Richland, West Richland, and a portion of Pasco are visible alongside the industrial and educational infrastructure that supports the area, including the Washington State Univ Tri - Cities campus and the Richland Airport. Significant irrigation and water management features like the Horn Rapids Ditch and the Columbia Canal reveal the transformation of this arid terrain into a productive river valley.

Genealogists and local historians can find modern landmarks such as Resthaven Cem and Sunset Memorial Gardens, as well as named natural features like Candy Mtn, Fox Island, and Flat Top Hill. The map meticulously details the evolving transportation network, from the major thoroughfares of George Washington Way and Battelle Blvd to the smaller neighborhood loops and rural roads like Horn Rapids Rd that cross the county lines between Franklin and Benton counties.
