About this map

Wiley City and the surrounding agricultural lands of the Ahtanum Valley are captured here just after the first decade of the 21st century. The landscape is defined by a complex network of water management, where Ahtanum Creek and the Ahtanum Canal feed the valley's orchards and fields. This area is particularly significant for its concentration of tribal and community burial grounds, including the Saluskin Cemetery, Wah-Lal-La-Kite Cemetery, and Emeunot Cemetery, reflecting the deep cultural history of the Yakama Nation and local pioneers.

Residential expansion from the west is visible in developments like Summitview and Harwood, yet the rural character persists through landmarks like the Tietonview Grange and the Parker Reservoir Dam. The topography transitions from the floor of Cottonwood Canyon to the flowing waters of Wide Hollow Creek, illustrating the intersection of natural drainage and man-made irrigation that sustains this region of Washington.
