About this map

The Naches River and its major tributaries, including the Little Naches River and Nile Creek, carve through the terrain of Yakima County in this 2011 survey. The landscape is defined by the narrow corridor of human activity that follows the riverbanks, where the settlements of Cliffdell and Pinecliff are situated. This area serves as a significant recreational and seasonal hub, evidenced by the numerous campgrounds and retreats such as Camp Roganunda, Mountain Air Camp, and Little Naches Summer Homes.

Tracing the geography reveals several prominent landmarks and water features, from the heights of Edgar Rock and its associated Edgar Rock Lookout Tower to the managed waters of Milk Pond behind the Milk Pond Dam. Local history is anchored by the Peterson Cemetery, located near the confluence of Gold Creek. The mapping of Old River RD and Pine Cliff Way highlights the traditional transportation routes that have supported the valley's development and its enduring connection to the river system.
