2013 Map of Smyrna

About this map

Smyrna sits at the base of the dramatic rise toward the Saddle Mountains, marking a transition from the lower riparian corridor to the elevated basalt plateaus of central Washington. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape defined by the winding path of Lower Crab Creek and the organized water management of the Royal Rd Canal-Wasteway. The terrain is characterized by massive geographical features like the Smyrna Bench and the Wahluke Slope, which dictate the placement of local infrastructure such as Lower Crab Creek Rd SW. The presence of Schrum Ranch and isolated water bodies like Sand Hollow Lake highlights the agricultural and ranching foundations of the area. Notable landmarks such as Dry Island provide evidence of the ancient floodwaters that carved this region's distinct coulees and benches.
