About this map

Snipes Cr carves a central path through this section of Benton County, defining a landscape marked by dramatic topographical shifts from the heights of Sagebrush Ridge and Royer Hill down to the southern agricultural plains. The map illustrates a developed network of irrigation and transport as the terrain flattens near the southern edge, where the Sunnyside Canal and the Yakima River serve as vital water resources for the region.

A strictly organized grid of rural roads, including Snipes Creek Rd and N Crosby Rd, bisects the area, providing access to landmarks like Crow Canyon and Kelly Gulch. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring spatial organization of Washington's wine and fruit-growing country, where named canyons like Corral Canyon transition into a valley floor dominated by major water management infrastructure and the historic route of the W Old Inland Empire Hwy.
