2011 Map of McKays Butte

About this map

McKays Butte and Simon Butte anchor this high-elevation landscape in Yakima County, defined by a complex network of Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) access roads. The drainage pattern is a central feature of the terrain, with Toppenish Creek and White Deer Creek carving through the northern reaches, while Tepee Creek and Brush Creek intersect near the center. Water sources are scarce but significant, marked by Delaney Spring and Smith Spring, which likely served as critical points for travelers and livestock in this arid environment.
