1951 Map of Richland

About this map

The Hanford Works (A E C) dominates the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, reflecting the immense footprint of the Atomic Energy Commission in the Tri-Cities region. The development of Richland as a planned government community is evident in the structured street grids near the confluence of the Columbia River and Yakima River. This era shows a community in transition, where old agricultural markers like the Grosscup Ranch and the Abandoned Canal exist alongside new aviation infrastructure like the Richland Airport (A E C).
