1986 Map of Lake Joy

About this map

Lake Joy and Moss Lake sit at the western edge of this terrain, where the foothills of the Cascades meet the developing suburban fringe of King County. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the North Fork Tolt River and South Fork Tolt River, featuring the Tolt Regulating Basin and several Gaging Stations that reflect the area's importance to regional water management. Small rural settlements like Harris and Langlois are noted, alongside numerous 4wd tracks and Borrow Pits that suggest a working landscape of timber and resource extraction. Significant watercourses including Griffin Creek, Stossel Creek, and Canyon Creek carve through the topography, which is bounded to the south by the Carnation Corp Bdy. The map provides a look at the intersection of natural watersheds and early infrastructure in the late 20th century.
