About this map

Puyallup River valleys and the surrounding upland plateaus define this region during a period of significant suburban expansion and commercial development. The map details the core of Puyallup, showing the dense urban grid near Sparks Stadium and the expansive Western Washington State Fair Grounds. Local history is anchored at the Fort Maloney Historical Marker, while the transition toward modern retail centers is evidenced by the prominent South Hill Mall on South Hill.

Educational and civic infrastructure is well-documented, from older sites like All Saints Ch and the Sumner Cem to numerous neighborhood schools such as Karshner Sch and Rogers High Sch. The landscape also retains its essential water management and recreational features, including the McMillin Reservoir, Lake Bradley, and the Maplewood Spring fish hatchery. Transport networks are clearly visible, with the Rapid Transit lines and Pioneer Way threading through the valley floors.
