About this map

Cumberland and Black Diamond anchor the southern portion of this King County survey, illustrating a landscape defined by its industrial roots and watershed management. The Green River carves a winding path through the center of the sheet, surrounded by a series of small settlements including Palmer, Kanaskat, and Durham. These communities were historical nodes for rail and extraction, supported by features like the Holland Substa and local gravel pits.

In the north, the Cedar River Watershed represents a massive protected zone, separated from residential areas like Ravensdale and Georgetown. Between the rivers, the terrain is marked by a network of small lakes such as Deep Lake within Nolte State Park, Retreat Lake, and Lake No 12. The map also captures specialized land uses, from the Pautzky Salmon Ponds to the Kanaskat-Palmer Recreation Area, reflecting the area's transition into a space for both resource protection and public recreation.
