About this map

The Puyallup Valley serves as the central artery for this part of Pierce County, where the meandering Puyallup River and the White River converge near the community of Sumner. This 2017 survey documents the dense suburban and industrial expansion surrounding the historic city of Puyallup, illustrating how modern infrastructure has layered over the original river-bottom settlements. Significant landmarks such as the Puyallup River Bridge North Meridian and the Pierce Coll at Puyallup campus anchor the landscape, while numerous smaller springs like Maplewood Spring and Wildwood Spring hint at the area's complex hydrology.

Industrial activity is noted at the Linwood Pit, contrasting with established residential and civic areas like Fife Heights, Meeker, and South Hill. Genealogists will find the locations of Woodbine Cem and Sumner Cem particularly useful for tracing local family histories. The map provides a precise look at the transition from the industrial corridors of Fife near Tacoma to the agricultural remnants and expanding neighborhoods of Alderton and Summit View.
