1953 Map of Selah Springs
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The Yakima Firing Center Military Reservation dominates this mid-century landscape, illustrating the heavy military footprint in the region shortly after the Second World War. This specialized terrain is characterized by various aviation and defense installations, including a Drone Landing Strip, a Drone Take-off Strip, and an Asphalt Strip. The infrastructure recorded here reveals a shift in land use, where an Abandoned Irrigation Ditch and an Abandoned Dam suggest a transition away from earlier agricultural or water-management efforts toward military training operations.
