About this map

Chambers Prairie and the surrounding lowland drainages of Thurston County define this landscape south of Lacey. The Deschutes River meanders northward through the heart of the quadrangle, passing through the settlement of Plumb and near the waters of Offutt Lake. The area's aviation history is visible through small landing strips like Aero Plaza Airport and Flying Carpet Airport, which serve the rural residential communities. Small named settlements such as Kellys Korner and Fir Tree are scattered among the prairie and wetlands, while Western Junction suggests the historical intersections of regional transport. The topography is shaped by distinct glacial features, including Rocky Prairie and Chain Hill, alongside numerous water bodies like Pattison Lake and Sunwood Lake that have long supported local habitation and recreation.
