About this map

Harts Lake and its smaller neighbor, Little Lake, anchor the low-lying terrain of this Pierce County landscape just after the turn of the 21st century. The hydrography of the region is complex, defined by the winding course of the Nisqually River to the west and the industrial presence of the Centralia Dam. Tributaries like Lacamas Creek, Horn Creek, and Tanwax Creek thread through a grid of rural roads and residential developments, illustrating the transition of the area toward modern suburban-rural settlement patterns.

To the east, Asplund Field serves as a distinct landmark among the residential blocks. The map reveals the intricate drainage system of the basin, including Tule Lake and several smaller unnamed ponds. While the area retains much of its open character, the dense network of numbered streets, such as 288th St S and 304th St S, suggests a region deeply integrated into the growing infrastructure of the Puget Sound periphery.
