Natural Resource Maps of the County
This page provides base and thematic maps that King County Dept
of Natural Resources and Parks uses in its work. We save digital
copies to share with county residents, businesses, government agencies,
schools and non-profit organizations to make the full use of our
existing maps. These maps are provided in Adobe Acrobat format.
Many of the maps available on this page are complex and require
generous download times. We've provided the file sizes and expected
download times in the map descriptions to help decide what to download.
Here is one of the newest maps on our cartographic
maps page:
