About this map

Toppenish Ridge dominates the northern landscape of this Yakima County region, where high-elevation terrain is defined by a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) routes. The map detail highlights significant volcanic landforms such as Simon Butte and the namesake McKays Butte, surrounded by a complex system of drainages including Snow Creek and Tepee Creek.

This area is characterized by numerous water sources critical to the local environment, including Coyote Spring, Delaney Spring, and Vessey Spring. The transition from the high ridges down to Hoppers Flat shows a land managed through a grid of specialized roads like Brush Creek Rd and IXL Crossing Rd, reflecting the remote but organized character of this part of the Yakama Reservation in the early twenty-first century.
