About this map

Grandview and the eastern edge of Sunnyside anchor this agricultural corridor of the Yakima Valley as it appeared in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by an intensive network of irrigation canals, including the West Turbine Lateral and East Turbine Lateral, which transformed the arid Sagebrush Ridge area into a productive farming district. Small agricultural outposts and junctions such as Lichty, Blacks Corner, and Forsell trace the historical development of the rural infrastructure alongside the Interstate highway system.

Transportation and utility history are well-represented, from the Sunnyside Municipal Airport to the Grandview Water Shed. Water management features like the Marvin Eberle Dam and the winding course of Sulphur Creek illustrate the engineering required to sustain these communities. For those studying local genealogy, the Grandview Cemetery is a prominent landmark located near the intersection of the city's residential expansion and its industrial outskirts.
