2020 Map of Wooded Island

About this map

The Columbia River dominates this portion of southeastern Washington, where the protected lands of the Hanford Reach National Monument and McNary National Wildlife Refuge converge. The waterway is defined by significant mid-river features including Wooded Island, Homestead Island, and Johnson Island, while the eastern shore rises into rugged breaks marked by Parsons Canyon and Baxter Canyon. To the west, the arid interior shows a more industrial character, influenced by the proximity of the US Department of Energy Res Rd and the presence of Geneva Junction. Small points of settlement like Ruby sit near the river's edge, contrasting with the broad agricultural or open spaces of Ringold Flat and Taylor Flat. This area illustrates the intersection of federal conservation efforts and the strategic management of the river corridor in the Columbia Basin.
