2011 Map of Benton City

About this map

The Yakima River defines the landscape of this region, winding through a valley of islands and irrigation infrastructure. The settlement of Benton City sits at a sharp bend in the river, showing a grid of residential streets south of the water. To the northeast, the smaller community of Grosscup marks a point along the road network near the prominent elevation of Red Mountain. The map reveals the intricate water management system essential to this part of Washington, including the McWhorter Canal and distinctive river features like Songbird Island and The Island. Genealogists and local historians can locate Evergreen Cemetery on the western edge of the city, while the presence of Lost Lake and various rural routes like N Snively Rd and E Ruppert Rd illustrate the area's development outside the primary township.
