About this map

White Swan serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated at the edge of Medicine Valley and the broader Yakima Valley. The settlement pattern reflects a transition from the agricultural lowlands to the more open reaches of Olney Flat. An extensive network of irrigation infrastructure, including the West Unit One Highline Canal, Main Canal Extension, and the Ayres Lateral, demonstrates the managed water systems necessary for ranching and farming in this region.

Several watercourses, such as Simcoe Creek and Toppenish Creek, define the lower terrain, while Tuyuck Creek and Red Willow Creek descend from the higher elevations to the north. Local history is anchored by sites like Saint Marys Cemetery and the Kent Ranch, alongside specialized transit points including Harrah Airport and the Hitchcock Airstrip. The map also captures smaller named localities like Rupple, connected by a grid of Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and local roads.
