| Description | The view is looking upstream from the north side of the Yakima River. To the left, the Horse Heaven hills rise on the south side of the river. The Brown’s Rocks area is on the bluffs to the right. The photo is of Kiona Canal Dam, a closed weir dam or overflow dam built of local stone and rubble. At the time the Kiona Canal was built the land on both sides of the Yakima River was referred to as the Kiona area. The city of Benton City did not yet exist, the plat filed by North Coast Railroad in February 1910. At the time of the photo, the irrigation district was held by the Northwestern Improvement Company, a subsidiary of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The Kiona Canal, now the Kiona Irrigation District (KiID) water rights date back to 1889. Some of the KiID system’s infrastructure suffered damage in the flood of 1996, consequently the system was reworked and the water is currently delivered via a pressurized pump and pipe distribution system. Two men on a raft loaded with rocks can be seen in the second image. |
