# §9.167. Red Mountain

- (a) **Name.** The name of the viticultural area described in this section is “Red Mountain.”
- (b) **Approved maps.** The appropriate map for determining the boundaries of the Red Mountain viticultural area is one U.S.G.S. map titled “Benton City, Washington” 7.5 minute series (topographic), (1974).
- (c) **Boundaries.** The Red Mountain viticultural area is located within Benton County, Washington, entirely within the existing Yakima Valley viticultural area. The boundaries are as follows:
  - (1) The northwest boundary beginning on this map at the intersection of the 560-foot elevation level and the aqueduct found northwest of the center of [section 32](/cfr/27/32.md).
  - (2) Then following the aqueduct east to its endpoint at an elevation of approximately 650-feet, again in [section 32](/cfr/27/32.md).
  - (3) From this point in a straight line southeast to the 1173-foot peak, located southeast of the center of [section 32](/cfr/27/32.md).
  - (4) From this peak southeast in a straight line across the lower southwest corner of [section 33](/cfr/27/33.md) to the 1253-foot peak located due north of the center of [section 4](/cfr/27/4.md).
  - (5) **Then in a straight line southeast to the 1410-foot peak located in the southwest corner of section 3.**
  - (6) From this peak in a straight line southeast to the border of sections [10](/cfr/27/10.md) and [11](/cfr/27/11.md) where the power line crosses these two sections. This intersection is northeast of the center of [section 10](/cfr/27/10.md) and northwest of the center of [section 11](/cfr/27/11.md).
  - (7) From this point in a straight line south following the border of sections [10](/cfr/27/10.md) and [11](/cfr/27/11.md) to the corner of sections [10](/cfr/27/10.md),[11](/cfr/27/11.md),[15](/cfr/27/15.md), and [14](/cfr/27/14.md). This point has an elevation of 684 feet.
  - (8) From this point southwest in a diagonal to the 700-foot elevation line and then following this 700-foot elevation through [Section 15](/cfr/27/15.md) and into [section 16](/cfr/27/16.md).
  - (9) Then following the 700-foot elevation line southwest 1/4 mile in a southwest diagonal until it meets the creek bed.
  - (10) Following the creek bed southwest through [section 16](/cfr/27/16.md), across the extreme southeast corner of [section 17](/cfr/27/17.md) and into the northeast corner of [section 20](/cfr/27/20.md) to a point where the creek bed meets the 560-foot elevation point.
  - (11) From this 560-foot elevation point, running north along this elevation line through [section 17](/cfr/27/17.md), through [section 8](/cfr/27/8.md), through [section 5](/cfr/27/5.md) and through [section 32](/cfr/27/32.md) until meeting the beginning point at the aqueduct in [section 32](/cfr/27/32.md).
