About this map

Selah serves as the central hub of this landscape, situated at the confluence of a complex irrigation network and the Naches River. This modern survey illustrates the intensive water management required for agriculture in the valley, featuring the Selah Valley Canal, Gleed Ditch, and Congdon Canal. These waterways navigate the varied terrain between Mammoth Mtn and the Yakima Ridge, supporting settlements like Gleed and Selah Heights.

To the south, the city of Yakima appears along the Yakima River, where recreational features like Rotary Lake and Berglund Lake are nestled against the riverbanks. The map documents a blend of industrial and natural landforms, from the steep walls of Crusher Canyon to the broad expanse of Iowa Flat in the north. This geography highlights the transition from the high ridges of the Wenas Valley to the fertile, canal-fed basins that define the region's economy.
