2020 Map of Fort Simcoe

About this map

Toppenish Ridge and the surrounding high country of Yakima County define this 2020 landscape, where modern resource management meets long-standing cultural landmarks. The map meticulously records sites of historical and genealogical importance, such as Colwash Cem and the areas designated simply as Graves near Simcoe Ln. This territory is characterized by a complex network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia RD 127 and Bia RD 100, which provide access to remote areas like Barbers Flat and the dramatic topography of Willy Dick Canyon. Water management is evident through the course of the Toppenish Lateral and the perennial flow of Agency Cr, while family-named landmarks such as Whiskey Jim Flat offer clues to the ranching and settlement history of the region. The map serves as a detailed guide for understanding the intersection of tribal land infrastructure and the natural drainage systems of Coon Canyon and Hunt Cr.
