About this map

Henderson Inlet and the southern reaches of Puget Sound define the northern edge of this Thurston County landscape, where the growing urban corridors of Olympia and Lacey meet established residential pockets and historic sites. The map documents a complex network of glacial prairies and kettle lakes, including Hicks Lake, Long Lake, and Pattison Lake, which shaped the early development of the region. Local history is anchored by sites like the Ruddell Pioneer-Woodlawn Cem and Saint Martin's Univ, while names like Union Mill and Hawks Prairie recall the area's timber and agricultural roots.

The transition from waterfront communities like South Bay and Beachcrest to the inland Woods Prairie and Little Chambers Prairie illustrates the varied topography east of the state capital. Modern infrastructure, including the highway through Tanglewilde and Thompson Place, is shown alongside established landmarks such as Mount Tabor Cem and the Ronald W Tabor Reservoir, providing a detailed look at the interface between the natural inlet shoreline and the expanding suburban footprint.
