1965 Map of Poisel Butte SW

About this map

The Yakima Indian Reservation occupies the southern half of this mid-1960s survey, defined by the Reservation Boundary that separates it from the northern reaches of the quadrangle. This landscape is characterized by a network of drainage systems and high plateaus, such as The Island, which sits between the branching paths of Mule Creek and Dry Creek. The area is deeply dissected by drainages like Shinando Canyon, where the Shinando Canyon Road provides access through the rugged breaks. Genealogists and local historians will find the Onepennee Cem near the eastern boundary, a notable site of cultural importance within this mountainous terrain. The map also records the utilitarian infrastructure of the era, including the So Happy Road and Pine Springs Road, alongside numerous water sources such as Pine Spring and Rock Spring.
