1949 Map of Black Diamond

About this map

The Green River carves a deep, winding valley across this landscape, defining the southern geography of a region shaped by industry and the waters of the Puget Sound lowlands. At the heart of the sheet, Black Diamond and Morganville represent the historic coal mining core of King County, where a Coal Mine and local Cem reflect the settlement's early mining heritage. To the north, the terrain transitions into a lake-rich plateau, featuring Lake Sawyer, Pipe Lake, and Wilderness Lake, surrounded by evolving residential pockets like Covington and Meridian Heights.
