1953 Map of Yakima East

About this map

Yakima and its eastern neighbors are defined by the convergence of industrial rail lines and intricate irrigation networks. The Northern Pacific and Union Pacific railroads cut through the heart of the valley, supporting the growth of Union Gap and Moxee City. The landscape transitions from the urban grid of Madison and Jefferson Schools to the engineered agricultural expanses of the Moxee Valley, where the Roza Canal and Wapato Irrigation Canal feed the local economy.
