About this map

The agricultural valleys and rising ridges west of Yakima are defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems, including the Ahtanum Canal and several laterals that sustain the orchards and fields of the Ahtanum Valley. Central to this landscape is Wiley City, surrounded by the small rural settlements of Harwood, Gromore, and Tietonview Grange. The map reveals a high concentration of cultural sites, particularly cemeteries like Saluskin Cem, Wah-Lal-La-Kite Cem, and Emeunot Cem, which underscore the region's deep indigenous and pioneer history.

From the heights of Cowiche Mtn in the north to the southern rise of Ahtanum Ridge, the topography is carved by Cottonwood Canyon and Cowiche Canyon. Recreation and transportation are marked by features like the Cowiche Canyon Trail and the Wilkinson Ranch Airport, while the transition from residential outskirts at Summitview to the open ranch land provides a clear view of the area's modern land use at the edge of the Yakima urban area.
