2017 Map of Bucoda

About this map

The Oregon Trail Monument stands as a significant historical marker in the northern portion of this landscape, situated near Tenino where the terrain transitions from the open flats of Rock Prairie and Frost Prairie into more elevated features like Blumaer Hill. This 2017 survey details a region defined by the winding course of the Skookumchuck River and its various tributaries, including Salmon Cr and Johnson Cr. In the southern half of the map, the settlements of Bucoda and Tono anchor the river valley, while the presence of industrial water features like Surge Pond and Pond Number Six near the Thurston Co and Lewis Co border indicates the area's ongoing relationship with water management and resource extraction. The map also identifies local landmarks such as Forest Cem and the prominent Northcraft Mtn, which rises above the surrounding Cozy Valley.
