About this map

Wiley City and the surrounding agricultural valleys of Yakima County are defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation infrastructure and fruit production. The landscape is a grid of orchards and canals, including the Congdon Canal and several engineered water routes like Lateral T and Lateral N that draw from Ahtanum Cr. Small centers of commerce and community like Gromore and the Tietonview Grange serve the local farming population, while extensive operations such as Swanson Orchards and Popejoy Orchard demonstrate the region's specialized land use.

Genealogists will find significance in the distribution of family and community burial sites across the valley, including the Saluskin Cem, Wah-Lal-La Kite Cem, and Sloutier Cem. These features, alongside landmarks like W Hills Memorial Gardens, provide valuable touchpoints for family history research. The terrain rises sharply to the south along the Ahtanum Ridge, creating a natural boundary for the development in the Ahtanum Valley.
