About this map

Frederickson and Graham anchor this late-twentieth-century study of central Pierce County, where a transition from rural homesteads to suburban development is visible. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Clover Creek and Muck Creek, alongside the distinctive Rocky Ridge terrain. The map documents an area with deep community roots, evidenced by several local schools such as Rocky Ridge Sch and Pioneer Valley Sch, and numerous congregations including Bethel Ch and Immanuel Ch.

Transportation and recreation are central to the district's character, featuring the Mountain Rail Division line and extensive facilities like the Paul Bunyan Rifle and Sportsmens Club Rifle Range. The southwest corner includes a portion of the Ft Lewis Mil Res, while industrial activity is noted through numerous Gravel Pit locations. For genealogists and local historians, the detailed grid of local routes like Salsich Road and Orting Prairie Road provides a clear view of how these settlements were interconnected before further modern expansion.
