USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
Low and East Canal irrigation infrastructure dominates this 1950s landscape, illustrating the engineering efforts that transformed the semi-arid central Washington plateau. The settlement of Wheeler serves as a central hub, accompanied by a nearby Sugar Refinery and the Moses Lake Municipal Airport, indicating the intersection of industrial processing and modern transit during this era. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage channels such as Black Rock Coulee and Rocky Coulee, which cut through the landscape alongside extensive sand dunes to the southwest.
