About this map

Tenino serves as a primary hub in this Thurston County corridor, where the historic Oregon Trail Monument stands as a physical marker of pioneer migration. The landscape transitions from the residential streets of Tenino and Bucoda to an industrial and resource-based interior, most notably evidenced by the Black Prince Mine and the complex system of managed waterways in the south, including Surge Pond and Dam Number Six.

The Skookumchuck River and Scatter Creek dictate the valley floor's layout, while the surrounding elevations of Northcraft Mountain and Blumaer Hill define the horizon. Transportation history is etched into the terrain through routes like Old Highway 99 SE and Old Military Rd SE, connecting the small settlements of McIntosh and the former mining area of Tono. For local historians, the inclusion of Forest Cemetery and the Memorial Swimming Pool provides specific points of community heritage within the broader topography.
