About this map

The Yakima River winds through this Central Washington landscape, where the water management systems of the Roza Canal and the Selah Moxee Irrigation Canal define the agricultural potential of the valley floor. Settlement is concentrated along the river corridor and the BNSF Railway, with established communities like Pomona and East Selah serving as local hubs. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward Yakima Ridge, marking a shift from the developed riverfront to the expansive, less-populated territory of Joint Base Lewis-Mcchord.

Infrastructure in this area reflects a complex layering of transportation and irrigation, from the rail operations at Hillside Siding to the residential development of Pomona Heights. The topography is punctuated by prominent landmarks such as Selah Butte and the remote settlement of Pushtay, illustrating the transition from the fertile Burbank Valley to the higher, arid ridges that overlook the Yakima basin.
