2013 Map of Sunnyside

About this map

Sunnyside and its surrounding Yakima County agricultural lands are defined by a complex irrigation network and the prominent rise of Snipes Mtn. This survey illustrates the intricate water management system essential to the region, featuring the Outlook Canal, Turner Lateral, and the Snipes Mountain Lateral that contour around the higher elevations of Harrison Hill. To the south, the Yakima River meanders through a riparian landscape marked by McBride Slough and Satus Bar. Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial grounds north of the city center, including Sunnyside Cem and Lower Valley Memorial Gardens. Smaller rural hubs like Outlook, Emerald, and Midvale anchor the grid of country roads, while landforms like Peanut Hump provide distinct local landmarks amidst the valley floor.
