About this map

The settlement of Tampico serves as the focal point for this 2023 survey of the mountainous Yakima County landscape. This map captures the complex drainage systems and irrigation infrastructure of the Cascades' eastern slopes, including the John Cox Ditch and the winding course of the North Fork Ahtanum Creek. The topography is dominated by prominent landforms such as Pine Mtn and the long, parallel elevations of Sedge Ridge and Ahtanum Ridge.

Branching out from the central valley, a network of rural roads like Cowiche Mill Rd and N Fork Rd provides access to the deep ravines of Bear Canyon and Carpenter Gulch. The map meticulously details the intersection of modern rural residential life with traditional water rights and rugged terrain, tracing the paths of South Fork Cowiche Creek and the curiously named Nasty Creek through the surrounding highlands.
