About this map

The Yakima River defines the central geography of this Yakima County corridor, where the town of Granger sits as a primary hub for the surrounding agricultural landscape. This survey reveals a complex irrigation and water management network essential to the Yakima Valley, including the Durham Lateral, Marion Drain, and Satus Number 2 Pump Canal. These features highlight the transformation of the arid basin into a productive horticultural zone, supported by proximity to the river and the various creeks like Toppenish Creek and Satus Creek.

Beyond the central township, smaller settlements such as Alfalfa, Liberty, and Satus are interconnected by a dense grid of rural roads and rail infrastructure, including Railroad Ave and the Inland Empire Hwy. The terrain is framed by significant elevations like Snipes Mtn to the east and the rising slopes of Toppenish Ridge to the southwest, illustrating the physical boundaries that have shaped local transport and land use for over a century.
