2011 Map of Poisel Butte NW

About this map

Smina Cemetery and Meninik Cemetery serve as important cultural and genealogical anchors within this landscape of the Yakama Indian Reservation. The map documents a predominantly rural and undeveloped terrain, where water courses like Satus Creek and its tributary Logy Creek dictate the geography. The transportation network is defined by Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, specifically BIA 51 Rd and BIA 63 Rd, which traverse the high desert and steppe environment. This 2011 survey captures the spatial relationship between these tribal roads and the sparse but significant historical markers of the local community, providing a clear record of land use and indigenous infrastructure in the early 21st century.
