Description 1 map ; negative, 21 x 32 cm. This was a preliminary map showing one particular plan for the irrigation of the Columbia Basin. As noted in the title, this map represented the pumping plan, whereby a dam would be constructed at Grand Coulee and water pumped up from there into the coulees located to the south, creating a large resevoir. The basic form of this plan was the plan finally adopted by the government in 1933.
