2023 Map of Emerson Nipple

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Umtanum Ridge and Yakima Ridge dominate this section of Benton County, defining a landscape of high crests and deep drainages. The area is characterized by significant conservation boundaries, including the Hanford Reach National Monument to the east and the Saddle Mountain National Wildlife Refuge along the southern edge. The central peak of Emerson Nipple serves as a prominent landmark above the surrounding basins. Water sources are scarce but critical, marked by several named points such as Juniper Springs, Wissa Spring, and Barrel Springs. This arid terrain is traversed by a network of local routes including Cold Creek Rd and Priest Rapids Rd, which follow the natural contours between the ridges. The map reveals the intersection of natural topography and federal land management in this part of Washington.
