1964 Map of Wallula

About this map

The Columbia River and its confluence with the Walla Walla River dominate this mid-century landscape at the border of Washington and Oregon. The area is defined by a complex network of transportation and industry, with the Northern Pacific, Spokane Portland and Seattle, and Union Pacific railroads converging near settlements like Attalia and Wallula Junction. The rise of Wallula Lake behind the Wallula Gap has reshaped the shoreline, which is dotted with industrial and scientific sites including a paper mill, grain elevators, and the Wind and Wave Recording Station.
