About this map

South Hill and Frederickson anchor this modern survey of Pierce County, depicting a landscape defined by extensive residential development and localized infrastructure. The suburban grid is interrupted by vital aviation hubs like the Pierce County Airport - Thun Field and the smaller Shady Acres Airport. Smaller communities such as Elk Plain and Graham show the continuing outward growth from the Tacoma-Seattle corridor, while the outlier settlement of Thrift sits at the edge of the more densely plotted neighborhoods.

Industrial activity remains visible at the Jones Pit, contrasting with the natural drainage of Clover Creek and Muck Creek. The presence of Patterson Spring and the transition into Rocky Ridge reflect the original topographic character of this upland region before the proliferation of the modern street network. This map provides a detailed view of the contemporary intersection between heavy infrastructure, housing, and the remaining open spaces in the southern Puget Sound region.
