2014 Map of Des Moines

About this map

Seattle and its southern suburban corridor are documented here during a period of dense residential and industrial development. The landscape is defined by the massive infrastructure of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and the winding course of the Green River, which flows past settlements like Foster and Allentown. While the shoreline along Puget Sound features established neighborhoods such as Seola Beach and Normandy Park, the interior is a grid of early 21st-century growth, connecting older hubs like Burien and Tukwila. Notable social and community landmarks include the Highline Community College and Tyee Valley Golf Course. The map also preserves the locations of several memorial sites, including Saint Patricks Cemetery and Riverton Crest Cemetery, providing a detailed record of the area's local geography before further urban transformation.
