2023 Map of Bald Hill

About this map

The Nisqually River and Deschutes River define the hydrography of this Washington landscape where the borders of Thurston, Pierce, and Lewis counties meet. This 2023 survey illustrates a region shaped by glacial activity and timber management, evidenced by the numerous kettle lakes and the extensive network of the Weyerhauser Truck Rd. In the central portion of the map, Bald Hill Lake and Clear Lake serve as focal points for residential clusters like those along Beachside Dr SE. The terrain is punctuated by significant landmarks such as Fossil Rock and Bald Hill, while the Deschutes Falls marks a prominent drop in the southern river system. Local drainage is supported by a web of tributaries including Thurston Creek, Toboton Creek, and Lackamas Creek, which navigate through dense woodlands and areas like Parsnip Swamp.
