About this map

The Cedar River carves a deep valley through this landscape, marking the transition from the eastern suburban reaches of Renton to the rural foothills of Squak Mtn. Evidence of the region’s industrial past remains visible through the Indian Coal Mine and Fire King Coal Mine, while the southern portion of the map is defined by the extensive Lake Youngs Watershed. The suburban development of East Renton Highlands and Covington contrasts with the numerous recreational and memorial sites, including the Tahoma National Cem and the Riverbend Recreational Vehicle Park.

Smaller residential pockets like Dorre Don, Atkinson, and Hobart are scattered along the Maple Valley Hwy, reflecting the historical growth of unincorporated King County. Numerous water bodies, from the secluded Shady Lake to the larger Shadow Lake, punctuate the terrain, providing a look at the hydrography that shaped local settlement patterns before the rapid modernization of the twenty-first century.
