2023 Map of Bluelight NW

About this map

Satus Number 2 Pump Canal and Satus Number 3 Pump Canal define the managed water landscape in this portion of Yakima County. This 2023 survey illustrates the complex irrigation and drainage infrastructure necessary for agriculture in the region, including smaller water features such as Foster Drain and Drain 21.5. The land is organized by a grid of Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) routes and named local roads, reflecting the integration of tribal land management and rural development. Notable thoroughfares like Yakima Chief Rd and Rock Bluff Rd navigate the undulating terrain, while the Public Land Survey System lines—marking t8n r21e and surrounding townships—overlay the natural topography. This map documents the modern footprint of a landscape shaped by water rights and access in central Washington.
