About this map

Medicine Valley and its surrounding canyons define this landscape in Yakima County, documented during the late twenty-teens. The drainage network is complex, featuring the convergence of N Medicine Cr, S Medicine Cr, and the primary Simcoe Cr system. To the north, the terrain becomes increasingly dissected by numerous canyons, including Poison Canyon, Hog Canyon, and the distinctively named Old Maid Canyon.

Local landmarks and infrastructure provide insights into the area's rural character and industrial footprint. The Yesmowit Cem is situated near the center of the valley, while the White Swan Mill Ponds are visible at the southeastern corner. An extensive network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, such as Bia RD 36 and Bia RD 8, serves the valley floor and connects it to the upland slopes of Whitefoot Canyon.
