Description

1 map : col., 17 x 39 cm. <BR>Colored symbols indicate power stations, local systems owned by W.W.P.Co., local systems owned by other companies, and transmission lines. <BR>The Washington Water Power Co. came into existence in 1889 as the third power company in Spokane. It quickly became the preeminent power company in the area, buying up their competitors, or acquiring their properties when they failed. The demand for power grew heavily after the first decade or so, and Washington Water Power Co. gradually expanded across the region, building a steady stream of new dams and generators to keep up with the demand.
