About this map

Horse Heaven Hills define the northern reaches of this landscape, where the high-elevation terrain is carved by a series of significant drainages including Coyote Canyon, Dead Canyon, and Jerry Canyon. The map area is primarily rural and agricultural, centered on the small settlement of Tule Prong. A sense of the region's early community infrastructure is found at Glade Cem, located near the junction of Mabton-Bickleton Rd and Ridge Rd.

Southward, the topography transitions toward Kimbrell Ridge and Stone Canyon as the landscape crosses the political boundary of Yakima Co and Klickitat Co. The network of local routes like Alderdale Rd and Sharp Rd follows the natural contours of the hills, illustrating how transportation in this part of Washington remained closely tied to the land's difficult drainage patterns and ridges into the early twenty-first century.
