About this map

Lake Joy and Moss Lake anchor this 1993 study of the King County landscape, reflecting the hydrological complexities of the Snoqualmie Valley fringe. The confluence of the North Fork Tolt River and South Fork Tolt River dominates the central terrain, feeding into the Tolt Regulating Basin. This area is characterized by an extensive network of drainage including Strossel Creek and Harris Creek, highlighting the region's reliance on these water systems for local utility and resource management.

Industrial and commercial footprints are evident through the presence of several Borrow Pit excavations and the marked boundary of the Carnation Corp holdings. These labels, along with multiple Gaging Sta installations, underscore a landscape shaped by active water regulation and resource extraction. The map provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of Griffin Creek and its tributaries just before the turn of the millennium.
