About this map

The Yakima River winds south through this Yakima County landscape, flanked by the prominent heights of Umtanum Ridge and Selah Butte. The valley is defined by complex water management systems, including the Roza Canal and the Selah Moxee Irrigation Canal, which support the agricultural infrastructure near Pomona and East Selah. These canals parallel the river, illustrating the region's historical reliance on irrigation for valley development between the ridges.

Settlement patterns concentrate along the river corridor, with residential areas like Pomona Heights and smaller points such as Hillside Siding and Pushtay marking the transition from the irrigated lowlands to the steeper elevations of Yakima Ridge. The presence of the Burbank Cr drainage in the northeast and Wenas Cr in the west further highlights the hydrological network that has shaped the growth and transit routes of this Washington territory into the modern era.
