2011 Map of Lacey

About this map

The burgeoning residential and commercial corridors of Lacey and eastern Olympia define this 2011 survey, showing a landscape shaped by both glacial history and modern development. Extensive suburban expansion is evident across Tanglewilde and Thompson Place, while the northeastern corner retains its connection to the Puget Sound via Henderson Inlet and the Nisqually Reach. Inland, a chain of water bodies including Pattison Lake, Hicks Lake, and Chambers Lake provides a natural counterpoint to the busy traffic of Pacific Ave SE and Martin Way E. Finer historical details persist amidst the growth, such as the Mount Tabor Cemetery and the legacy of the timber industry at Union Mill. The map also documents named geographic features like Woods Prairie and Little Chambers Prairie, markers of the open landscapes that once dominated the area before the 21st-century build-out.
