2020 Map of Lacey

About this map

Lacey and eastern Olympia are depicted at a peak of suburban and educational expansion in the early 21st century. The landscape is a complex mix of historic prairies and modern development, where large institutional footprints like Saint Martin's University and the South Puget Sound Community College Lacey Campus stand alongside established residential areas like Tanglewilde and Thompson Place. The map captures the significant water systems of the South Sound, from the marine environments of Henderson Inlet and Nisqually Reach at Sandy Point to the inland chain of lakes including Hicks Lake, Long Lake, and Pattison Lake. Genealogy interests are well-served by the presence of the Ruddell Pioneer Cem and Saint Martins Abbey Cem, while the label for Union Mill points to the area's industrial past amid the contemporary street grids and namesake prairies like Woods Prairie.
