1986 Map of Savage Island

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Columbia River serves as a stark boundary between the nuclear-industrial legacy and environmental preservation of eastern Washington. On the western shore lies a portion of the Hanford Site (DOE), a Department of Energy reservation established during the mid-20th century. This restricted territory contrasts sharply with the Wahluke Slope Habitat Management Area to the east, where the landscape is defined by its ecological use rather than industrial production. Centered in the river channel, Savage Island remains a prominent feature within this transition zone. Infrastructure supporting the region’s agricultural and industrial needs is evident through several Storage Bins and water management features like the Siphon and Wasteway. The presence of a Borrow Pit and Gravel Pit along the bluffs further indicates the localized excavation required to maintain the roads and facilities servicing this unique landscape.
