2023 Map of Wiley City

About this map

Ahtanum Creek and the Ahtanum Canal define the lower basin of this landscape, tracing the irrigation-driven development of Yakima County. This area represents a complex agricultural corridor where gravity-fed water systems like Lateral K and Lateral N support established communities such as Gromore and Harwood. The map preserves several significant burial sites, including Saluskin Cem, Emeunot Cem, and the Wah - Lal - La - Kite Cem, which reflect the cultural history of the valley. To the north, the terrain rises toward Cowiche Mtn and Cowiche Canyon, while the social infrastructure is marked by landmarks like the Tietonview Grange. This recent survey illustrates how modern residential expansion and traditional ranching, evidenced by the Wilkinson Ranch Airport, coexist along the base of Ahtanum Ridge.
