About this map

White River and Puyallup River waters dominate this mid-century look at Pierce County, where the industrial and agricultural character of the valley is clearly defined. The White River Power Plant at Dieringer stands as a primary landmark, connected by a distinct tunnel and pipeline system to the expansive waters of Lake Tapps. The landscape is a complex network of moving water and infrastructure, including the Printz Basin and the winding course of Fennel Creek leading toward Victor Falls.
