Old map provides look into past

This old map was supplied by Nadine Driggs. There isn't a date, but if they were about to build O'Sullivan Dam, it must have been the 1940s. Driggs marked two spots as our houses, one in the Frank's Market area and the other between Road M and Potholes Reservoir. Also note the Town of Moses Lake and an area identified as Old Town, which was where the MacDonald Brothers' Store and the first Moses Lake Post Office were located. The building housing the store and post office is still standing on Nelson Road. Potholes Town, where the people who built the dam lived with their families, is also marked on the map. Thanks for sharing, Nadine.
