About this map

Yakima Ridge dominates the northern landscape of this Yakima County quadrangle, where the high desert terrain transitions into a structured network of rural roads. This 2011 survey reveals a landscape of large-scale land divisions and agricultural transit, particularly in the southern reaches where thoroughfares like Den-Beste Rd and Prairie Dog Rd crisscross the area. The drainage of Selah Creek in the northeast corner provides a natural counterpoint to the straight-line geometry of the local road system.

The layout of roads such as Suntargets Rd, Morris Rd, and Badger Ln suggests a region defined by scattered residences and large property tracts typical of the central Washington interior. While the northern portion remains largely characterized by the elevations of the ridge, the southern half shows the early 21st-century footprint of rural development with its named lanes and residential connectors including Moody Rd and Moody Ln.
