1986 Map of Rochester
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
Mima Prairie and its surrounding lowlands define this landscape in the mid-1980s, where the glacial legacy of the Pacific Northwest is evident in the unique topography north of Rochester. The convergence of the Black River and the Chehalis River shapes the southern geography, supporting a mix of agricultural land and managed wilderness. The map documents several important conservation and timber zones, including the Capitol State Forest and the Scatter Creek Wildlife Recreation Area. For those investigating local heritage, the Fort Henness Historical Site and the Mima Cem provide specific points of reference near Grand Mound. The area's resource-based economy is visible through numerous Gravel Pits and the extensive Black River Habitat Management Area, reflecting a period of transition between industrial use and environmental preservation.
