2011 Map of Tanwax Lake

About this map

Glacial lakes and small settlements define this portion of Pierce County at the start of the twenty-first century. The landscape is dominated by a chain of water bodies, including Tanwax Lake, Ohop Lake, and the expansive Silver Lake to the southwest. These lakes are connected by a network of waterways such as Tanwax Creek and Ohop Creek, which have historically shaped the drainage and development of the region. Local intersections and small communities like Jims Corner, Johnsons Corner, and Leber indicate the long-standing rural road network that persists even as contemporary features like the Three Hundred Fourth Street Landfill and Tanwax Greens Golf Course appear.
