2020 Map of Whitstran

About this map

The Yakima River and its parallel Chandler Canal carve a life-giving corridor through this section of the Yakima Valley, anchoring the agricultural settlements of Prosser, Whitstran, and Gibbon. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the sprawling Horse Heaven Hills, a dry upland dominated by deep contours and narrow drainages like Snipes Cr. This landscape is defined by the contrast between the lush river bottom and the high, arid benches above. The road network reflects a history of irrigation and rural development, with numerous arterial routes like Wine Country Rd and Biggam Rd connecting local farms to the river-side communities. Local history is etched into the grid by family-named thoroughfares and Cemetery Rd, which marks the quiet spaces of the community north of the hills.
