About this map

The Gig Harbor waterfront and the northern reach of The Narrows define this maritime landscape on the Great Peninsula. This modern survey details the dense residential growth and complex shoreline of the Pierce Co and King Co border, where the Point Defiance - Tahlequah Ferry links the mainland to Vashon Island. Inland, the map documents significant community landmarks including the Tacoma Community College Gig Harbor Campus and the Tacoma Narrows Airport near Wollochet.

Preservation of local history is evident in the marking of the Haven of Rest Funeral Home Crematory and Memorial Park and the site of Fort Nisqually within Point Defiance. From the residential streets of Artondale to the quiet coves like Wollochet Bay, the map captures the transition from historic maritime outposts to an integrated suburban coastal corridor. Small burial grounds like Artondale Cem and Cromwell Cem remain as markers of the area’s early established settlements.
