1987 Map of Le Dout Creek

About this map

The Puyallup River carves a deep valley through this corner of Pierce County, serving as the central drainage for a network of mountain streams including Le Dout Creek, Voight Creek, and Evans Creek. The topography is dominated by steep forested rises such as Cowling Ridge and the high elevations of The Divide to the south. Human activity in this mid-1980s landscape is primarily industrial and extractive, evidenced by numerous Barrow Pits and Gravel Pits scattered across the lower slopes. A Dam and a Gaging Station located along the river suggest active water management and monitoring during this era. The map also traces the path of a Flume following the river's course, a feature often associated with historical logging or hydroelectric operations in the Pacific Northwest.
