About this map

The Nisqually River and Deschutes River define the hydrography of this Pierce County landscape, carving through a region marked by significant elevation changes and glacial lake formations. High points like Bald Hill and Green Hill rise above the surrounding terrain, while unique geological features such as Fossil Rock provide landmarks for the area. The map illustrates a transition between the northern lowlands, featuring Kreger Lake and Tanwax Cr, and the more complex drainage systems of the south.

Residential development is concentrated around Clear Lake, where a network of roads like E Clear Lake Blvd SE and Elbow Dr serves the lakeside community. Further south, the landscape becomes more utilitarian and remote, dominated by the Weyerhauser Truck Rd SE and timber access routes. The presence of Deschutes Falls and numerous smaller tributaries, including Mitchell Cr and Thurston Cr, highlights the intricate water network that has shaped the county's local geography.
