USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Irrigation infrastructure and railroad junctions define this mid-century landscape in the Columbia Basin. The expansion of the Columbia Basin Project is evident through the extensive network of the Low East Canal, various wasteway segments, and numerous siphon and pipeline crossings. Agricultural industry is anchored by a Sugar Refinery near the settlement of Wheeler, while the transportation network is dominated by the Northern Pacific and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads.
