Northrup Point, Washington by Conspiracy.of.Cartographers

Before the dams were put in, Banks Lake didn't exist. It was just Grand Coulee, a dry canyon that had existed for 15,000 or more years. Over those years, various roads and trails were traced up and down its length. The last, prior to filling the coulee as a reservoir, ran slightly west of where the road is now. On satellite images, you can still see much of it under shallow water. In some places, like at the tip of Northrup Point, you can visit it. Here, about a fifty yard stretch of the old pavement can be seen, faint lines and all. For the most part, it's clear of vegetation, save for a sage bush that grew itself right in the middle of the northern end (pictured). From here, the road curved slightly left, and then right around the 'islands' in the background, before eventually connecting to the towns of Franklin, Osborne and Electric City, where it re-joined the modern road. . . .
