About this map

Rattlesnake Hills dominate the northern landscape of this Yakima County region, where the terrain drops sharply into a complex network of irrigation infrastructure and agricultural tracts. This mid-1960s survey documents a highly managed water system essential to the arid Yakima Valley, featuring the Roza Aqueduct, Roza Canal, and Sunnyside Canal. These engineered waterways cut across the lower elevations, supported by a Pumping Station and a Siphon to move water through the valley.

The transition from the high, arid peaks of High Lookout Top and Table Top to the settled grid below is marked by numerous family-named roads. Notable landmarks such as Deep Canyon and Spring Canyon define the northern slopes, while the southern half of the map is defined by the rural development along East Zillah Drive and Phipps Road. A single Gravel Pit indicates local industry amidst the expanding network of farm roads.
