Hanford High School is the only standing remnant of the town of Hanford, forcibly evacuated by eminent domain in 1943 to create the Hanford Engineer Works, known today as the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. Two cleared trees were dragged with cables and left to desiccate. One remains standing.

Eighty year old mounds and weirs are all that remain of irrigatable fields and orchards near the White Bluffs townsite.

White Bluffs Bank after completed restoration.

Seen through the window of the restored White Bluffs Bank, these dead, standing trees line the streets of the former town.
