About this map

Lake Kapowsin dominates this portion of Pierce County, serving as a focal point for the surrounding settlements of Kapowsin and Voss Resort. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where the Puyallup River flows near the Electron community and the Electron Reservoir. This area showcases a transition from the developing residential fringes of Graham in the northwest to the more isolated valley terrain of Ohop Valley and Surprise Valley further south.

Logistics and industry are evident through the network of timber-related infrastructure, such as Champion Lumber Rd, which winds through the eastern uplands. Small water bodies like Tanwax Lake, Clear Lake, and the remote Wildcat Falls are tucked into the drainages of Ohop Cr and Twentyfive Mile Cr, illustrating the dense evergreen-covered topography that has long supported both recreation and the regional timber economy.
