About this map

Cumberland and the surrounding logging and coal-mining corridor of King County appear here in the late 2010s, showing a landscape defined by its industrial history and steep river valleys. The Green River carves a deep path through the center of the sheet, spanned by the Green River Gorge Bridge and flanked by numerous small settlements like Naco, Bayne, and Palmer. These hamlets, along with rail-connected points like Kanaskat Junction and Palmer Junction, trace the movement of resources through the foothills of the Cascades.

The presence of specialized facilities like the Pautzke Salmon Ponds and the Green River Rearing Pond indicates the modern focus on habitat management along the river. To the north, the terrain softens around Hobart and Ravensdale Lake, where the Ravensdale Cem stands as a local genealogical landmark. To the south and east, the elevation rises toward Enumclaw Mtn and Sugarloaf Mtn, framing a region where dense forestry and quiet lakes like Deep Lake and Hyde Lake predominate.
