2011 Map of McKenna

About this map

The Nisqually River winds through this Pierce and Thurston County landscape, anchoring a region defined by agricultural prairies and growing aviation infrastructure. The city of Yelm and the community of McKenna serve as central hubs, connected by the Old McKenna Hwy and surrounded by smaller settlements like North Yelm, Five Corners, and Four Corners. Significant open spaces and military lands are represented by the presence of Fort Lewis, while the area's aviation character is highlighted by both Yelm Airpark and Flying B Airport. Water resources are prominent across the terrain, from larger bodies like Lewis Lake and Lake Serene, which features the Serene Lake Dam, to smaller features like Solberg Lake and McKenzie Lake. This topographical record captures the area as residential expansion continues to fill the historic Yelm Prairie.
