1968 Map of Rocky Reach Dam

About this map

Rocky Reach Dam dominates this section of the river, where the Columbia River Lake Entiat is held back by the massive powerhouse and fish ladder structures. The industrial footprint of the dam is meticulously detailed, showing a spawning run, pumping station, and a fish holding pond designed to manage local salmon populations after the river was harnessed. On the western bank, the Burlington Northern railroad follows the shoreline through a landscape of sharp relief defined by the Entiat Mountains and Burch Mountain.
