About this map

Yakima Valley agricultural lands meet the rising elevation of Toppenish Ridge in this 2017 survey of Yakima County. The northern half of the map is defined by a strictly organized grid of rural routes, including Ashue Rd and S Wapato Rd, which service the lowlands north of Toppenish Creek. This drainage system, which includes Snake Creek and Marion Drain Rd, reflects the managed water resources essential to the region's valley floor operations.

To the south, the terrain shifts abruptly into the high, contoured slopes of the ridge, where the landscape is marked by natural features such as Hole in the Wall and the winding course of Dry Cr. The map illustrates the sharp transition from the valley's rectilinear road network to the more sparse, topography-dependent tracks like Oak Spring Rd as they climb toward the southern boundary near Satus Cr.
