2011 Map of Violet Prairie
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
The Skookumchuck River and Hanaford Creek dominate the drainage of this landscape north of Centralia, where the terrain transitions from the lowlands of Hanaford Valley to the broad openings of Violet Prairie and Grand Mound Prairie. The area reflects a complex history of land use, from the small settlements of Sunnydale and Foran to the industrial legacy of the Monarch Mine, Stoker Mine, and Majestic Mine near Zenkner Valley. Small-scale aviation is represented by Sorrell Airport and Wissler's Airport, while water management is evidenced by multiple structures such as the Dunlap Pond Dam and Kyte Dam. This 2011 survey captures the region just as modern suburban development began pressing into traditional agricultural and mining lands, documented through a dense network of local roads like Tenino Grand Mound Rd SW and Big Hanaford Rd.
