Wheeler Trust Industrial Property
From a 1982 brochure produced by the Moses Lake Chamber of Commerce.
Can you figure out where this is/was? I can't: It makes no sense to me. Wheeler Rd runs to the east of Moses Lake so how can the property be 6 miles to the northwest...?
You're right. Then Moses Lake is located six mile northwest of the industrial park :-) So the locations got transposed in the text when making the brochure.

The canal right of way is a perfect match.
