About this map

The agricultural heart of the Yakima Valley is meticulously detailed in this survey of the irrigated landscape surrounding Harrah. The township is anchored by the small settlements of Brownstown, Farron, and Venner, which are linked by a dense grid of rural roads and an extensive network of water management features. The sophisticated irrigation system, essential for local farming, includes major arteries like the Main Canal and the East Unit 1 Highline Canal, alongside numerous distribution points such as the Wilbur Lateral and Vogler Lateral.

Local landmarks such as Labbee Field and various drainage routes, including the Harrah Drain RD and Mud Lake Drain, illustrate the engineering required to sustain this productive region. The map preserves a network of family-named roads like Trudeau Rd, Coe Rd, and Riggs Rd, providing valuable context for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of this rural Washington community.
