1958 Map of Yakima West

About this map

Yakima's western suburbs and agricultural fringes are meticulously detailed in this record of mid-century expansion. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems, including the Naches Canal, Tieton Canal, and Ahtanum Canal, which supported the orchards of Naches Heights and the valley floor. Educational growth is evident through numerous campuses like Yakima Valley Jr College and Eisenhower High School, while the local economy is anchored by the Yakima Municipal Airport and the State Fish Hatchery.
