1958 Map of Selah
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
The Naches River and Yakima River converge near the growing fruit-growing hub of Selah in this mid-century survey with 1980s urban updates. The landscape is defined by the contrast between the irrigated valley floors of the Selah Valley and the dry elevations of Selah Heights and Yakima Ridge. A complex network of water infrastructure, including the Wenas Canal, various Siphons, and the Buckskin Slough, highlights the area's intensive agricultural development. Regional community life is anchored by landmarks such as the Lower Naches Grange and the Lower Naches School in the west, while the eastern edge is dominated by the Burlington Northern railroad corridor. Notably, the map marks Petroglyphs near the Wenas Creek canyon, indicating a deep human history preceding the homesteading era of the Wenas Valley Grange.
