About this map

Lake Tapps dominates the northeastern landscape of this Washington quadrangle, its intricate shoreline defined by numerous points and islands such as Tacoma Point, Bankers Island, and Scout Island. The surrounding topography is shaped by the glacial valleys of the White River and Puyallup River, where the towns of Sumner, Puyallup, and Auburn have expanded across the lowlands. The complex water management systems of the region are evidenced by the Penstock Tunnel near Dieringer and the Trout Spring Hatchery along Fennel Creek.

Industrial and local landmarks include the Sumner Pit and the aviation footprints of Albritton Airport and Flying H Ranch Airport. Transportation networks are well-established, with the Bnsf Railway following the river corridor and the McMillin Bridge crossing the Puyallup River near the settlement of McMillin. Local history is preserved at the Sumner Cemetery and around the Salmon Springs church site, providing a clear view of the area's development between the river bends and the upland residential plateaus of Bonney Lake and Prairie Ridge.
