1956 Map of Soap Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Soap Lake serves as the focal point for this mid-century look at Grant County, where the town of the same name borders the water at an elevation of 1076 feet. The map highlights the significant engineering of the Columbia Basin Project, specifically the winding path of the West Canal and its associated Siphon and Levee infrastructure. The rugged volcanic landscape is defined by the massive Grand Coulee and Dry Coulee, while the Great Northern railroad tracks cross the southern plains. Local history is recorded in the grid of Soap Lake town streets, which include a Hospital, Lakeview Park, and a Sewage Disposal plant. Further inland, High Hill and Pinto Ridge dominate the elevation, separated by the high desert terrain where cattle and agriculture began to follow the arrival of irrigation.
