1959 Map of Frederickson

About this map

Frederickson and Graham serve as central points in this mid-century portrait of Pierce County, where timber, agriculture, and military interests converge. The landscape is defined by the tracks of the C M St P & P railroad and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific, which supported regional industrial sites like the Chemical Works and various gravel pits. The eastern edge of the Ft Lewis Mil Res touches the territory near Rocky Ridge, illustrating the significant military presence in the Puget Sound area during the late 1950s.
