2020 Map of Yakima East

About this map

The Yakima River carves a central path through this landscape, defining the corridor where the city of Yakima and Union Gap meet. This area serves as a critical junction for water management, featuring an intricate network of man-made waterways including the Union Gap Canal, Roza Canal, and the Selah Moxee Irrigation Canal. These diversions support the agriculture of the Moxee Valley, illustrating the long-standing reliance on irrigation to transform the arid terrain between Yakima Ridge and the Rattlesnake Hills.
