2023 Map of Harrah SE

About this map

Yakima Valley agricultural lands and conservation areas dominate this recent 2023 study of the territory south of Harrah. The map illustrates a complex water management system essential for local farming, featuring the Unit 2 Canal, Marion Drain, and numerous smaller waterways like East Island Lateral and Mud Lake Drain. A significant portion of the landscape is dedicated to the Toppenish National Wildlife Refuge, which protects the riparian corridors along Toppenish Creek. To the south, the topography shifts dramatically as the valley floor rises into Toppenish Ridge, where the terrain is marked by remote drainage points like Dry Creek and Oak Spring. This survey provides a contemporary record of the Yakima Nation lands, showing the network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes including BIA Rd 75 and BIA Rd 144 that traverse the ridge and valley slopes.
