1956 Map of Wheeler
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
Agricultural development and massive irrigation infrastructure define this Grant County landscape during the mid-1950s. The settlement of Wheeler serves as a local hub, anchored by industrial activity at the Sugar Beet Refinery and the presence of the Northern Pacific railroad. The map documents the engineering of the Columbia Basin Project, characterized by the East Low Canal and its complex network of siphons, wasteways, and spoil banks that cut across the natural terrain.
