1953 Map of Yakima East

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Yakima River bisects this mid-century landscape, carving a gap between the Ahtanum Ridge and the Rattlesnake Hills. The city of Yakima dominates the northwestern corner, showing its established urban grid with landmarks like the State Fairgrounds and several neighborhood schools including Madison Sch and Adams Sch. Eastward, the Moxee Valley reveals a robust agricultural irrigation system featuring the Roza Canal and Selah Moxee Canal, which sustain the smaller settlements of Moxee City and Birchfield. The map illustrates a transitional era where traditional rail infrastructure like the Burlington Northern railroad meets modern mid-century additions such as the KIMA Radio TV Center and a Drive-in Theater. Genealogists may find value in the locations of the Pioneer Cem near the river or the Holland Cem located further east in the valley.
