About this map

Lacey and the rural reaches of Thurston County are captured in this 2013 survey, showcasing a landscape where suburban expansion meets long-standing agricultural and prairie lands. The Deschutes River meanders through the central terrain, anchoring a series of small water bodies including Tempo Lake, Offutt Lake, and Pattison Lake. This area is characterized by distinct geographic pockets like Chambers Prairie and Rocky Prairie, reflecting the region’s glacial outwash heritage.

Transport and commerce hubs are scattered throughout, from the aviation activity at Hoskins Field Airport to historical rail-aligned points such as East Olympia and Western Junction. Smaller named locales like Kellys Korner, Fir Tree, and Plumb provide essential reference points for local history and genealogical research. The map also delineates major local thoroughfares like Yelm Hwy SE and Military Rd SE, which connect these dispersed settlements and resource areas.
