1965 Map of Mabton West

About this map

The Yakima River meanders through the northern section of this landscape, flanked by a complex network of oxbow lakes and ponds including Giffin Lake, Morgan Lake, and Slaughterhouse Lake. The town of Mabton serves as the primary settlement, situated along the Northern Pacific railroad line that cuts diagonally across the terrain. Much of the southern and western portions of the quadrangle are defined by the Yakima Indian Reservation Boundary, illustrating the land division of the mid-1960s. The topography transitions from the low-lying river valley into more dissected upland terrain to the south, where a grid of local roads like Tomo Pike Road and Winnier Road navigate the rising elevation. Smaller landmarks such as a Cem and a Gravel Pit provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of Yakima County.
