2020 Map of Badger Mountain

About this map

Richland and Kennewick expansion defines the northern and eastern portions of this landscape, where residential development meets the steep slopes of Badger Mtn. This modern survey illustrates the complex irrigation network vital to the region's development, featuring the Kennewick Main Canal, the Columbia Canal, and both the F Badger Lateral and W Badger Lateral. To the south, the terrain rises into the Horse Heaven Hills, punctuated by deep drainage features like Badger Canyon and Coyote Canyon. The presence of Badger Spring and Coyote Springs in the southern uplands highlights the traditional water sources that preceded the engineered irrigation systems. Small settlements like Badger sit at the intersection of these natural landforms and the transportation corridors connecting the Tri-Cities area.
