About this map

The settlement of Tampico serves as a focal point in this 1971 study, situated where Ahtanum Creek North Fork and Ahtanum Creek South Fork converge. The landscape is defined by the significant elevation changes between Cowiche Mountain to the north and Ahtanum Ridge to the south. Central to the area's development is the Yakima Indian Reservation Boundary, which follows the course of Ahtanum Creek.

Irrigation and transport networks are prominent, featuring several named local routes such as Shaw Rd, Hazen Road, and John Cox Road. The presence of an Aqueduct, several sections of Ditch, and a Siphon underscores the agricultural management of the Cowiche Basin and Cottonwood Canyon. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits and a Borrow Pit located near the reservation line.
