About this map

McKays Butte and Simon Butte rise above a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads in this 2013 survey. The terrain is characterized by the prominent east-west alignment of Toppenish Ridge, which directs the flow of Toppenish Cr and White Deer Cr through the northern sections of the quadrangle. High plateaus like Hoppers Flat provide open spaces between the carved drainages of Brush Cr and the Middle Fork Dry Cr.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, with several named springs such as Delaney Spring, Coyote Spring, and Vessey Springs appearing across the various township divisions. The transportation network is almost exclusively composed of BIA-maintained routes, including Bia 159 RD and Bia 140 RD, tracing the ridgelines and valley floors to connect these remote geographical features.
