2020 Map of Poland Butte

About this map

Poland Butte and Oak Hill rise above a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and Bureau of Indian Affairs access roads. This 2020 survey of the Yakima County area highlights the central presence of Cedar Valley, where the terrain begins to transition from the higher elevations of the Mike Coon Hillside toward the southern flats. The map documents vital water sources including Shamrock Spring and Lyon Spring, alongside the complex confluence of White Cr, its western fork, and Tepee Cr. The presence of several BIA routes, such as Bia RD 175 and Bia RD 195, illustrates the managed access within these tribal lands. To the north, the S Fork Toppenish Cr and Toppenish Cr carve through the topography, joined by smaller tributaries like White Deer Cr and Brush Cr, showing the hydrology that sustains this high-country environment.
