2013 Map of Lake Kapowsin

About this map

Lake Kapowsin sits at the heart of this Pierce County landscape, serving as a primary geographic anchor for the surrounding timber and mountain terrain. In the early 21st century, the small community of Kapowsin and the nearby Voss Resort represent the local settlement pattern at the lake's edge, while Electron to the north stands near the banks of the Puyallup River. The map reveals a complex drainage system defined by numerous creeks, including Tanwax Cr, Ohop Cr, and Twentyfive Mile Cr, which carve through the foothills east of Graham. The terrain is also marked by named valleys and localized points of interest like Ohop Valley, Surprise Valley, and the remote Wildcat Falls. This survey documents the intersection of rural residential pockets and the industrial-scale geography of the Pacific Northwest's river systems and forestry lands.
