About this map

The Yakima urban center and the fertile Moxee Valley are documented here in the early 21st century, revealing a landscape defined by the intricate management of water. The Yakima River bisects the terrain, its flow regulated by the Cascade Mill Pond Dam and Wapato Dam. A network of historic waterworks, including the Moxee Canal, the Selah Moxee Irrigation Canal, and Hubbard Ditch, illustrates the engineering required to sustain agriculture in this part of Washington.

Settlements like Moxee City and Union Gap are shown alongside key transit routes like the BNSF Railway. For those tracing local history, the map identifies the Central Washington Fairgrounds and sites of memory such as Pioneer Cemetery and Holland Cemetery. The transition from the developed streets of Central Ave and E Yakima Ave to the natural rise of Ahtanum Ridge highlights the region's geographical diversity.
