About this map

Scooteney Reservoir and a complex network of man-made waterways dominate this portion of the Columbia Basin in Franklin County. This 2020 map documents an extensively managed landscape where the Potholes Canal and Scooteney Wasteway move water through the arid terrain, creating a series of artificial catchments including Powerline Reservoir and Snakebite Reservoir.

Evidence of local irrigation and recreational planning is visible in the clusters of lakes and residential road names. Features like Chance Lake, Camp Lakes, and Ribbon Lakes dot the southern half of the map, while the surrounding road grid reflects both the agricultural legacy and wildlife focus of the region, indicated by thoroughfares such as Mallard Dr, Heron Rd, and Falcon Rd. The map also captures the boundary between Adams and Franklin counties along the northern edge.
