About this map

Yelm and McKenna serve as the primary hubs in this region of the South Sound, situated where the Nisqually River divides Thurston and Pierce counties. The landscape is a mix of open areas like Yelm Prairie and Smith Prairie alongside residential expansion and established neighborhoods. Small settlements such as Mock City and North Yelm are mapped near the extensive boundary of Fort Lewis, which occupies the northern portion of the quadrangle.

Transport and aviation infrastructure are prominent features of the area, with the Northern Pacific Rd SE cutting through the center of town. Local aviators are served by Western Airpark and Flying B Airport. The map also captures the local hydrography, including Lewis Lake, Lake Serene, and the Centralia Canal Rd, illustrating how water management and natural bodies like Goodwin Lake have shaped local development and rural property lines.
