About this map

The Nisqually River and Deschutes River frame this mid-century portrait of south Puget Sound prairie and timberlands. The settlement at Yelm serves as a central hub, where the Great Northern and Northern Pacific rails intersect, supporting an economy built on agriculture and timber. To the west, the Rainier Training Area marks the military presence near Rainier, while the Nisqually Indian Res Bdy defines the northern reaches near Roy.
