1956 Map of Enumclaw

About this map

Industrial and agricultural development defines the landscape surrounding Enumclaw during the mid-20th century. The town center serves as a hub for local education and entertainment, featuring the Byron Kibler School and a Drive-in Theater along the highway. To the east, the timber and industrial presence is marked by the Upper Mill and its associated Millpond, where a network of Flumes and railroad spurs manage timber resources. This 1956 survey also captures the massive engineering of the Mud Mtn Dam and the resulting Mud Mountain Lake along the White River, a significant flood-control project on the King and Pierce county line.
