About this map

McNeil Island and its prominent Federal Penitentiary dominate the waters of Puget Sound in this early 1940s Corps of Engineers tactical survey. The landscape is defined by institutional and military presence, from the State Hospital for Insane near Steilacoom to the sprawling Fort Lewis military reservation that occupies the southern half of the sheet. This military footprint includes specialized features like the Fort Lewis Rifle Range and numerous named high points such as Marne Hill and Branson Hill.
