2013 Map of Benton City

About this map

Benton City and West Richland dominate this section of the Yakima River valley, where the landscape transitions from irrigated riverbanks to the steep slopes of Red Mountain. The river creates distinct geographical features such as The Island and Songbird Island, while the McWhorter Canal highlights the region's reliance on water infrastructure for its agricultural development. Local history is anchored by the Evergreen Cemetery and the settlement of Grosscup, located near the southern bend of the river. The map also reveals the complex road network including Wa-240 and Horn Rapids Road, which trace the path of growth in this part of Benton County. Genealogists and researchers can find specific landmarks like Lost Lake and various local thoroughfares such as Harrison Loop and Massinglae Road that define the residential and rural character of the area.
