1965 Map of Whitstran SE

About this map

Glade Creek and its tributary, the East Branch, carve a distinct drainage system through the arid heights of Benton County. This mid-1960s survey captures a landscape defined by industrial and agricultural infrastructure, where a network of family-named roads like Horrigan Road and Lenzie Road provides access to remote wells and local industrial sites such as a Gravel Pit. The presence of a Gaging Station along the creek indicates the importance of water management in this high-desert environment. Topographic variations are most pronounced along the deep incisions of Carter Canyon and Tyacke Canyon to the northeast, while a prominent Pipeline cuts across the southern sections, marking the intersection of natural terrain and regional utility development during this era of post-war growth in the Pacific Northwest.
