About this map

The Green River Watershed and its complex utility infrastructure define this King County terrain as it appeared in the early 1990s. Managed for the City of Tacoma, the area is dominated by the Howard A Hanson Reservoir and the essential Tacoma Water Supply Intake, which serves as a primary source for municipal water. The map traces the industrial footprint required to move and manage this resource, including a massive Aqueduct, a Purification Plant, and numerous Gaging Stations along the Green River.

Bordering the Snoqualmie National Forest, the landscape transitions from the peaks of McDonald Mtn to the depths of Eagle Gorge. Local topography is further marked by Little Eagle Lake and Page Mill Pond, while the narrow corridors of the North Fork, South Fork, and Middle Fork tributaries feed the central river system. The presence of several Borrow Pits and a Tunnel suggests the ongoing maintenance of the transportation and utility corridors threading through these restricted lands.
