About this map

Frederickson and Graham anchor this 2017 study of the Pierce County landscape, where suburban expansion meets the region's aviation and industrial history. The area is defined by a dense network of numbered avenues and streets that grid the terrain between Clover Creek and the southern flows of South Creek. Aviation activity is prominent, with the Pierce County Airport - Thun Field serving as a central landmark alongside the smaller Shady Acres Airport to the west.

Evidence of the local resource economy persists at Jones Pit, located near the natural feature of Rocky Ridge. Significant water sources like Patterson Spring and the winding course of Muck Creek provide contrast to the developed residential corridors of South Hill and Summit View. The map captures the transitional character of communities like Elk Plain and Thrift during a period of steady growth in the Pacific Northwest.
