About this map

Tenino and Bucoda anchor this portion of the Pacific Northwest, where the valley of the Skookumchuck River meets the timbered slopes of Northcraft Mtn. The landscape is a mix of lowland prairies and upland ridges, with Rock Prairie and Frost Prairie providing level ground for early settlements and agriculture. A historic line of travel is marked by the Oregon Trail Monument near the rail crossing at Tenino Junction, reflecting the area's role as a transportation corridor between the Columbia River and Puget Sound.

Industrial and community life are visible through features like the Forest Cem and the Memorial Swimming Pool in Tenino. To the south, the settlement of Tono is situated near the Lewis Co line, surrounded by the drainages of North Hanaford Creek and Hanaford Cr. These waterways, along with Scatter Cr and Salmon Cr, define the drainage patterns through the broken terrain of Blumaer Hill and Crawford Mtn.
