About this map

Yakima Ridge and the Rattlesnake Hills frame the high desert landscape of central Washington in this 2013 survey. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Elephant Mtn and the steep walls of Kittitas Canyon. At the base of these heights, the Moxee Valley supports the small settlements of Artesian and Moxee, where the local community is anchored by the Holy Rosary Cem.

Transportation throughout the region is marked by a network of established roads such as Wa-24 and Konnowac Pass Rd, which navigate the rugged contours of the land. The presence of features like Washout Gulch and Coyote Spring highlights the importance of water management in this arid environment. This map captures the intersection of traditional agricultural settlements like Rocky Acres with the enduring geological features that have long shaped Yakima County development.
