1959 Map of Fort Lewis

About this map

The Fort Lewis Military Reservation dominates this 1990s revision, showcasing the extensive infrastructure of one of the Pacific Northwest's primary military installations. The landscape is a complex mix of tactical training areas and permanent facility hubs, anchored by the Madigan Army Medical Center and the Gray Army Air Field. To the north, the Mount Rainier Ordnance Depot and Camp Murray National Guard sit near the shores of American Lake, which features several named islands like Barlow Island and Cors Island. The map records a dense network of firing ranges, lookouts, and training bluffs such as 6th Engineer Bluff. Beyond the cantonment areas, the southern reaches transition into the Ninety-first Division prairie and the wetlands of Brandenburg Marsh, eventually meeting the civilian settlement of Roy along Muck Creek. Genealogists will find value in the clearly marked Fort Lewis Cem and Ross Cem, alongside several local schools including Hillside Sch and Evergreen Sch.
