About this map

Sulphur Spring and a network of high-desert water sources define this arid landscape within Yakima County. The terrain is characterized by steep contours and the prominent Washout drainage, where intermittent flow supports a series of named springs including Buck Camp Spring, Bailey Spring, and Lozier Spring. This 2017 survey reveals a sparsely populated region primarily accessed by a grid of rural corridors such as N Hanford Rd and Erickson Rd.

The distribution of water at sites like Upper Railroad Spring and Canyon Spring suggests the historic importance of these points for range management and early transit through the hills. While the area lacks dense settlements, the precise mapping of Sulphur Cr and isolated landmarks like Colby Spring provides essential data for land use and topographical study in this portion of south-central Washington.
