1983 Map of Burien
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The waters of Puget Sound separate the mainland communities of Burien and Des Moines from the rural character of Vashon Island and Maury Island. This 1983 survey documents a period of significant infrastructure development, most notably the massive footprint of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and its impact on surrounding residential areas like McMicken Heights and Sunnydale. On the islands, a more dispersed settlement pattern is visible, with local hubs at Vashon, Burton, and Portage providing social and educational centers such as the Vashon High School and Burton School.
