2022 Map of Waverly

About this map

Rush River carves a deep valley through this portion of Pierce County, defining a landscape of narrow ridges and branching coulees. The small settlements of Waverly and Ono anchor the rural road network, which follows the high ground between drainages like Brush Cr and Lost Cr. This topographic study reveals how local geography dictated early land use, from the placement of the Ono Methodist Cem near the town center to the Lost Creek Cem overlooking its namesake waterway. Landforms such as Bremennington Coulee and Morgan Coulee reflect the drainage patterns that feed into the river valley, while named heights like Austerland Hill RD mark the transition from the river bottom to the surrounding agricultural uplands.
