About this map

The East Low Canal dominates this mid-century landscape of the Columbia Basin Project, cutting a sharp line of water management across the semi-arid terrain of Grant County. Engineered works including a Levee, Siphon, and massive Spoil Bank illustrate the massive scale of 1950s irrigation infrastructure. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the terrain drops into the distinctive Black Rock Coulee, where Black Lake and Artesian Lake sit within the deeper floor of this prehistoric flood-carved channel.
