1983 Map of Renton
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The Cedar River carves a deep valley through this King County landscape, separating the industrial centers of Renton and Tukwila from the rising foothills to the east. By the early 1980s, suburban expansion is evident in the residential clustering at Benson Hill and Fairwood, though the protected Lake Youngs Watershed remains a massive, undeveloped anchor in the center of the sheet. The map documents a complex infrastructure of transit and recreation, featuring the Municipal Airport, the Burlington Northern rail lines, and numerous local institutions like Greenwood Cem and Highlands Community Ch. From the riverside settlements of Elliott and Maplewood to the more secluded enclaves of Dorre Don and Arcadia, the topography shifts from the developed alluvial plains of Springbrook Creek to the steep slopes of Cedar Mtn and Squak Mtn.
