About this map

Napavine sits as a central hub on this mid-1980s landscape, positioned atop the distinct Napavine Prairie. The area is defined by a series of north-south water systems, including the Newaukum River and Olequa Creek, which cut through the level terrain. Local history is anchored by smaller communities like Evaline, home to the Evaline School, and the settlement of St Urban in the southeast. Genealogy researchers will find the St Urban Church and St Urban Cem specifically located along the grid of rural roads like Military Road.

The industrial and transportation footprint of the era is evident through the Burlington Northern rail line that bisects the region, supporting local resource extraction at sites like the Borrow Pit and Quarry. Beyond the populated centers, the map details the transition into Newaukum Hill and Grand Prairie, showing a landscape of scattered homesteads and named rural routes such as Pleasant Valley Rd and Romerman Road.
