2011 Map of Coyote Rapids

About this map

The Columbia River dominates this portion of Benton County, flowing past the turbulent Coyote Rapids and the settlement of Allard. This area reflects a landscape of dispersed settlements and infrastructure, where local names like Nancy, Bettie, and Ginger identify specific points of interest or habitation east of the river. To the north, Wahluke sits near the riverbanks, while the southern margin includes the named locations of Audrey and Helen. The terrain is characterized by the presence of Saddle Mountain Lake to the west, with a road network including Road 23 SW providing access across the high desert plains. The arrangement of these specifically named locations suggests a history of localized agricultural or residential development along the river's path through the Hanford region.
