Natural History. Grand Coulee Dam is positioned in an area which sits on the edge of two geologic zones â the Okanogan Highlands and the Columbia Plateau. The dam sits on the solid granitic rock of the Okanogan Highlands, making a perfect base for the dam. The Columbia Plateau to the South consists of layers of softer basalts. The Columbia River in the Grand Coulee region was carved between these two geologic zones.
Priest Rapids Dam is located on the Columbia River, 24 miles south of Vantage and 200 miles downstream from Grand Coulee Dam. The dam was named in recognition of the Wanapum religious leader Smowhalla and the small band of indigenous people that lived during the winter at a village near the last of seven rapids, called Priest Rapids. A small group of the Wanapum continues to live alongside the tailrace of the dam.
