About this map

The Nisqually River valley anchors this 2011 survey, defining the southern border where the settlements of Ashford, National, and Tahoma Woods are concentrated. This area serves as a primary access corridor into the high country, reflected in the presence of the Elbe Hills Trailhead and the Hewitt Landing Strip. The northern two-thirds of the map are dominated by a dense network of watercourses, including the Mashel River and the winding Busy Wild Creek.

The landscape is marked by a complex system of timber and access roads, such as the Eatonville National Rd and Stoner Rd, which thread through the drainage basins of Beaver Creek and Big Creek. This infrastructure reveals the area's ongoing role in forest management and recreation at the base of the Cascades, where the river valley's narrow residential strip meets the expansive, creek-carved uplands.
