About this map

The Yakima River defines the southern landscape of this region, serving as the lifeblood for an extensive irrigation network near Benton City. This hydraulic engineering is visible through the intricate paths of the Kennewick Main Canal, Kiona Canal, and Sunny-side Canal, which transform the arid terrain into productive land. The transition from the river valley to the north reveals a shift toward protected wilderness and rugged uplands, notably within the Hanford Reach National Monument and the Saddle Mountain National Wildlife Refuge. Family-named landmarks like Virgil O McWhorter Spring and Katie Fleck Spring dot the higher elevations near Iowa Flats, while the small community of Chaffee sits at the junction of rail and road routes along the river's bend.
