USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Black Diamond and its neighboring settlement Morganville serve as the industrial anchors for this King County landscape, which was actively shaped by coal mining and timber operations at mid-century. The Northern Pacific and Coast Pacific railroads provide the essential transport corridors, winding through a terrain defined by glacial lakes and the deeply incised path of the Green River. Along the river’s southern banks, the Flaming Geyser Park Swimming Pool marks a significant recreational site near the small settlement of Kummer.
