| Description | 1 map: 32 x 58 cm. Scale: 2 in. = 1 mile. Red lines indicate irrigation ditches and flumes. In 1896 the Lewiston Water and Power Company began work on a series of ditches and flumes which would carry water from Asotin Creek into the area that would later become known as Clarkston. This allowed for the irrigation of the lower valley area, and the sales of land there for farms, orchards, and settlement. |
