The Yakima River carves through a landscape of prominent basalt ridges and developing residential communities north of Yakima. This 2017 survey highlights the transition from the river valley's riparian corridors to the elevated plateaus of Selah Butte and Umtanum Ridge. The map details the expansion of Terrace Heights and the agricultural-to-residential shift in areas like Pomona Heights and East Selah. Small rail-oriented settlements like Hillside Siding and Pomona reflect the area's logistical history, while the broader topography is defined by the massive Yakima Ridge. Significant water features including Selah Creek and Wenas Creek are captured as they feed into the primary river system, alongside a complex network of local roads such as Buffalo Rd and Corriedale Rd that segment the foothills.
