1958 Map of Yakima

About this map

MT Rainier and the jagged peaks of the Cascade Range dominate the western landscape of this mid-century survey, giving way to the fertile basins of the Yakima River. The irrigation infrastructure that transformed this region is clearly visible, including the Roza Canal and Sunnyside Canal, which allowed agriculture to flourish alongside the rail lines of the Northern Pacific and Union Pacific. The map provides a detailed view of the Yakima Indian Reservation, marking significant cultural and administrative sites like Fort Simcoe and the Yakima Indian Agency School.
