About this map

Greenwater sits at the confluence of the White River and the river named for it, serving as a gateway to the high timberlands of the Snoqualmie National Forest. This 1980s provisional study details a landscape defined by industrial water management and forest recreation, notably the Green River Watershed (City of Tacoma) and the Howard A Hanson Reservoir. The boundary between King and Pierce counties cuts through the terrain, separating the steep slopes of Grass Mountain from the southern river valleys.

Along the southern edge, Federation Forest State Park preserves a stretch of riverbank near Deadman Flat. The map documents infrastructure essential to the region's utility and history, including the Humphrey (Site) and a Radio Facility perched on the ridges. Evidence of resource extraction is visible in several Borrow Pit locations, while the settlement of Maywood and various forest camps indicate the area's role in supporting mountain transit and timber management.
