About this map

Covington and Maple Valley anchor the northern reaches of this King County landscape, where suburban growth meets the complex hydrology of the Puget Sound lowlands. The area is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes including Lake Sawyer, Lake Morton, and Pipe Lake. The Green River carves a deep path through the southern half of the map, crossed by the Whitney Bridge and Kummer Bridge near the settlement of Kummer.

Tracing the historical identity of the region, the map highlights the town of Black Diamond and its neighbor Morganville. These communities, along with the Black Diamond Cem, reflect the area's deep-rooted mining and timber heritage. Local aviation is well-represented by several small airfields, including Norman Grier Field and the Evergreen Sky Ranch Airport, while industrial activity is noted at a Pit near Henrys.
