1966 Map of Welland

About this map

Eureka Flat dominates the northern reaches of this mid-1960s survey, a landscape defined by industrial agriculture and the strategic path of the Northern Pacific railroad. The settlement of Welland serves as a focal point for the regional rail network, surrounded by a grid of named rural thoroughfares such as Britton Road and Kellogg Road. To the south, the terrain shifts dramatically into the winding valley of the Touchet River, where the geography transitions from plateau to canyon. The agricultural economy is clearly etched into the land through features like multiple Grain Elevators and Storage Bins positioned along the river and rail lines. These structures, alongside the presence of Ninemile Canyon, illustrate the intersection of the region’s topography with the logistical needs of 20th-century grain transport.
