1953 Map of Pomona

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Yakima River carves a dramatic path through this central Washington landscape, flanked by the sharp elevations of Umtanum Ridge and Yakima Ridge. Originally mapped in the 1950s with revisions through the early 1980s, the terrain shows a sophisticated network of water management, including the Roza Canal, Selah Canal, and the Selah-Moxee Canal, which support the agriculture of the Selah Valley. Settlement is concentrated at Pomona and East Selah, where the Burlington Northern railroad lines parallel the river's course. Extensive land use for conservation and defense is evident, with the L T Murray State Wildlife Recreation Area occupying the northwestern highlands while the Yakima Firing Center Military Reservation dominates the eastern hills. Local landmarks like the Selah-moxie Grange and a Landing Strip provide insights into the mid-century rural infrastructure and community life of the region.
