2017 Map of Sagebrush Ridge

About this map

Sagebrush Ridge dominates the terrain of this Yakima and Benton County borderland, where the high desert landscape is punctuated by The Gap, a prominent pass in the ridgeline. This 2017 survey shows a methodical grid of rural roads, including Snipes Rd and N Hinzerling Rd, that navigate the varying elevations between the ridge and the lower-lying areas. The presence of Spring Cr provides a glimpse into the intermittent drainage patterns of the region. The road network, with names like N Missimer Rd and N Gap Rd, suggests a landscape organized for agricultural or utility access, typical of the central Washington interior. Boundary lines for Yakima Co and Benton Co cut through the survey, marking the administrative divisions that govern these high-elevation slopes and the valleys below.
