1915 Map of Wenatchee

About this map

The confluence of the Columbia River and the Wenatchee River anchors this 1915 survey, illustrating a landscape transitioning into a major agricultural hub. The city of Wenatchee is clearly established along the Great Northern railroad tracks, while the surrounding hills and plateaus, such as Wenatchee Heights, are already dotted with schools like School No 60 and School No 66. This mapping era precedes the massive hydroelectric projects of the mid-20th century, showing the river systems and irrigation features like the Wheeler Reservoir in their early configurations.
