Incorporated in 1907, the City of Toppenish is located in Central
Washington and is situated about 20 miles southeast of the City of
Yakima. The City covers approximately two square miles and has a
population of 9,000 residents.
The City of Toppenish has preserved its beginnings as a rugged western town through restoration and beautification efforts that make it a popular tourist attraction today. At the heart of the City and its beautification are over 70 outdoor, historical murals. They tell the story of early development of the City of Toppenish, and its rich history and cultural diversity.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful mural with us.

Neat realistic mural. It almost feels like the cattle are going to keep on walking right out of the mural.
Toppenish looks like a great little town/city.. That's neat that they have restored the town --and are keeping their western roots and culture... Glad it is a tourist town now. Great mural....
