About this map

Lacey and the surrounding prairies of Thurston County are captured in this recent survey, showcasing the modern layout of south Puget Sound settlements. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Deschutes River and the broad open spaces of Chambers Prairie and Rocky Prairie. While the northern portion of the map is densely gridded with residential developments near Tumwater, the eastern edge transitions into the military grounds of Joint Base Lewis-McChord.

Several significant water bodies anchor the geography, including Offutt Lake, Pattison Lake, and Tempo Lake. Small community hubs like East Olympia and Kellys Korner appear alongside vital transportation points such as Western Junction and Skookumchuck. The map provides a contemporary record of land use, from the small airfield at Hoskins Field to the numerous creeks like Spurgeon Creek that drain the timbered uplands near Chaenn Hill.
