Geocache Description:

In 1943, the Manhattan Project–the federal government's top-secret atomic bomb project–selected a 625 square-mile area of the Mid-Columbia Basin that included White Bluffs, Hanford, and Richland. People who lived in the small farming communities were sent notices to evacuate their lands and given about 30 days to leave their homes. The government purchased their farms and could tell residents only that their sacrifice was needed for the war effort.
