2017 Map of Mabton East

About this map

The Yakima River flows through a landscape defined by industrial-scale agriculture and sharp topographic shifts in this part of Yakima County. To the north, the developed grid of Grandview and the settlement of Mabton anchor the valley floor, supported by an intricate irrigation network including the Rocky Ford Lateral, Mathieson Lateral, and Mabton Feeder Lateral. This complex water system transforms the arid valley into productive farmland, as evidenced by road names like Apricot Rd, Chestnut Rd, and Walnut Ln. South of the river and the Byron settlement, the terrain rises dramatically into the Horse Heaven Hills. This southern portion of the map is characterized by steep contours and natural features like Cherry Spring and the elevated Missouri Flats, standing in contrast to the engineered irrigation of the lowland valley.
