1990 Map of Mc Kenna

About this map

The Nisqually River serves as the prominent natural boundary between Pierce and Thurston Counties, carving a winding path through the center of this 1990s-era landscape. To the north, the Fort Lewis Military Reservation dominates the terrain, featuring the small settlement of Muck City and several lookout towers overseeing the military grounds. The residential and commercial hub of Yelm sits on the western edge of the wide Yelm Prairie, while the town of McKenna is positioned directly along the riverbank, showing evidence of early industry through noted ruins. The map captures a transition from organized military zones and growing towns to the open stretches of Smith Prairie. Local history is preserved in the family-named roads like Hannus Road and Pringle Road, alongside small water bodies such as McKenzie Lake and Crystal Spring.
