2020 Map of Ashford

About this map

Ashford and the nearby settlement of National anchor this 2020 map, situated along the northern banks of the Nisqually River as it flows out of the mountains. The southern edge of the map identifies the boundary for Mount Rainier National Park, marking the transition into one of the state's most significant natural preserves. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Mashel River, Niesson Cr, and Busy Wild Cr, which carve through the elevations north of the river valley. Key transportation arteries like Mount Tahoma Canyon Rd and Eatonville National Rd provide access through the timbered sections of Pierce County. The map also captures the Pierce Co Lewis Co border, showing the intersection of local roads and natural drainage systems that have historically supported the area's logging and gateway-tourism economies.
