1953 Map of Eagle Gorge

About this map

Industrial infrastructure and protected forest lands define this corridor of the Cascade Range in the mid-1950s. The Cedar River Watershed Boundary partitions the north, marking a region where travel is strictly restricted to protect the water supply for the Puget Sound area. Key facilities such as the Purification Plant and Tacoma Water Supply Intake are located along the river, illustrating the complex engineering required for municipal water management.
