1989 Map of Lester

About this map

Lester stands as a focal point in this late 20th-century survey of the high country in the Cascade Range, situated along the Green River corridor. The map documents a landscape defined by the overlapping boundaries of the Snoqualmie National Forest and the Green River Watershed (City of Tacoma), highlighting the critical role this drainage plays for regional municipal water supply. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Colquhoun Peak, Kelly Butte, and Bald Mountain, with drainage provided by a network of tributaries including Sunday Creek and McCain Creek. A small Landing Strip and various transmission lines indicate the managed nature of this mountain environment, while Sawmill Ridge and scattered pits suggest the legacy of resource extraction and road maintenance in the area north of the King Co / Kittitas Co line.
