2017 Map of Sumner

About this map

Lake Tapps dominates the eastern portion of this landscape, its intricate shoreline defined by numerous points and islands such as Driftwood Point, Bankers Island, and Scout Island. This engineered water body is linked to the industrial character of the valley below, evidenced by the Penstock Tunnel near Dieringer. The river systems are central to the area's geography, with the White River and Puyallup River carving through the lowland plains. These waterways historically supported the growth of settlements like Sumner, Pacific, and McMillin. On the higher ground to the south, residential expansion is visible in Prairie Ridge and Prairie Heights. The map also preserves the footprint of regional infrastructure and industry, from the BNSF Railway corridor to the Trout Spring Hatchery and local aviation sites like Albritton Airport.
