1987 Map of Anderson Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The Nisqually River defines the northern boundary of this high-elevation terrain in the late 1980s, marking the border between Pierce and Lewis Counties. This survey provides a meticulous look at a complex drainage network where the North Fork Mineral Creek and its various tributaries, including Ruby Creek and Gallup Creek, carve through the steep topography. Centrally located on a high plateau, Anderson Lake sits as a significant alpine water body among the ridges. Evidence of human activity is sparse in this heavily forested landscape, noted primarily by a Borrow Pit near the river and the presence of Swamp Creek at the southern edge. The lack of named settlements emphasizes the area's character as a timber or wilderness resource zone during the final decades of the twentieth century.
