About this map

The settlement of Tampico sits at the junction of several drainage systems in the central part of this Yakima County landscape. The terrain is defined by prominent east-west ridges, including Pine Mtn and Cowiche Mtn, which overlook a network of seasonal and perennial waterways like S Fork Cowiche Cr and Nasty Cr. To the south, the deep incision of Bear Canyon and Carpenter Gulch cuts through the high ground leading toward Sedge Ridge and Ahtanum Ridge.

A network of local routes, including Cowiche Mill Rd and N Fork Rd, provides access to the higher elevations and riparian corridors. The map details the transition from the concentrated residential roads in Tampico, such as Aspen Springs Ln and Culdron Dr, to the more utilitarian backcountry tracks like Fenceline Rd. This area illustrates a typical Yakima County valley-to-mountain gradient where water rights and access roads like BIA Rd 47 shape the local geography.
